It is the first Mexican detective novel that reflects rural Mexican life and culture, showcasing the splendor of its customs and traditions. The novel unfolds as two revolving stories that eventually intertwine into one. The first is the story of Abel Corona and his three brothers, who are involved in a nasty feud with the neighboring Alcaraz family. The second story focuses on the journey that the young Abel Corona undertakes to search for his girlfriend by catching a ride from a truck driver who is involved in the drug trade. When he steals money from the driver, Abel starts fearing for his life. Then his brother Ismael is found dead, and Abel is confronted with an old family feud: a fight over land ending in death. Is he being lured into a trap, to fall victim to revenge? Portraying ranch life across the great expanse of northern and western Mexico, Guedea dazzles the reader with numerous subplot lines and sequences of Abel's journey. The novel doesn't hold back, and it's inventive, honest, and often beautifully brutal"-- $c Provided by publisher. 546 $a Translated from the Spanish. 650 0 $a Ranch life $z Mexico $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Brothers $z Mexico $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Drug traffic $z Mexico $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Brothers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00839665 650 7 $a Drug traffic. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00898722 650 7 $a Ranch life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01089735 651 7 $a Mexico. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211700 655 7 $a Picaresque literature. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 700 1 $a Broad, Peter G. $e translator. 830 0 $a Americas series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171222061238.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6D7758524DE711E4A85DE8D9DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
