Velvet Was the Night - Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Mexico in the 1970s is a dangerous country, even for Maite, a secretary who spends her life seeking the romance found in cheap comic books and ignoring the activists protesting around the city. An amazing writer S.A. When her next-door neighbor, the beautiful art student Leonora, disappears under suspicious circumstances, Maite finds herself searching for the missing woman-and journeying deeper into Leonoras secret life of student radicals and dissidents.
When Elvis is assigned to find Leonora, he begins a blood-soaked search for the woman-and his soul. Cosby, bestselling author of Blacktop Wasteland and Razorblade Tears Mexico in the 1970s is a politically fraught land, even for Elvis, a goon with a passion for rock n roll who knows more about kidney-smashing than intrigue. A page-turning read full of colour and action THE INDEPENDENT Swirling in parallel trajectories, Maite and Elvis attempt to discover the truth behind Leonoras disappearance, encountering hitmen, government agents, and Russian spies.
Because Mexico in the 1970s is a noir, where life is cheap and the price of truth is high. Velvet Was the Night: an edgy, simmering historical novel for lovers of smoky noirs and anti-heroes.
