Editorial review
A bold proposal that fuses the noir genre with eroticism in a border setting as real as it is sordid. Óscar Guerrero's writing builds an oppressive and sensual atmosphere, with characters who do not seek to be heroes but survivors. Ideal for those looking for an intense, visual read with social undertones, with no concessions to a happy ending.
