Against this backdrop, he catches the case of Bruno Canizales, a high-powered lawyer with a double life, who was killed by a single silver bullet. Throwing himself into his work, Mendieta begins to piece together the details of Canizales' life. The son of a former government minister, and the lover of a drug lord's daughter, Canizales it seems had a penchant for cross-dressing and edgy sex. In the sweltering city of CuliacaÌn, Mexico's capital of narco-crime, Mendieta scrambles to follow several leads. His dogged pursuit of the killer takes him from glitzy mansions to drug dens, from down-at-the-heels reporters to glamorous transsexuals. When a second, apparently related murder surfaces, Mendieta discovers that his desire to unearth the truth has become as overpowering as any drug." -- $c Amazon.com 534 $p Originally published : $c Barcelona, Tusquets Editores, ©2008, $n under title: $t Balas de plata. 546 $a Translated from the Spanish. 700 1 $a Fried, Mark, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20160323014224.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B6566224F0BC11E5B9B61EC5DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
