Some key points of interest for this crime novel:

It’s based in Mexico and the feeling of banality of evil is ever present. Lefty, the main detective pursues the case of a murder nonchalantly.

A case usually gets closed quickly without real rigor or justice. You can be told by your superiors to drop the case because you’re going down a path with a political dead end.

Fascinating.

The way this is translated makes it a fast paced stream of consciousness fever-dream but narco-crime noir and i’m here for it
