A stylised reissue of the acclaimed, surreal noir collaboration. In alternating chapters Zapatista leader Marcos and Taibo II create an uproarious murder mystery with two intersecting storylines. The two stories collide absurdly and dramatically in the urban sprawl of Mexico City. On its face, the novel is a murder mystery, and at the book's heart, always, is a deep love of Mexico and its people.' - Los Angeles Times'
