Against all practical advice, the seasoned agent Pablo Faraón, also known as Commander Yellow, falls in love with his beautiful and young colleague just as two criminal cartels decide to confront each other throughout Cuidad Juarez. While they struggle to perform their jobs, even against their own colleagues, Faraón has to identify the murderer who leaves a strange message beside his victims, and why he was chosen as one of the key pieces in this fight.

Miguel Ángel Chávez Diáz de León, who was already recognized as an acclaimed poet and who has been a journalist in Cuidad Juarez for over twenty years, gives us his first novel about the life of a police officer in one of the most dangerous cities in the world. In this book the story of Cuidad Juarez is alive. It is about love, cruelty, humor, wine and letters. Of children and women who cannot save themselves first. Of men and women who live with a pen or with a net. Elmer Mendoza. National Journalism Award 2008, FronteraFord Pellicer Frost Award 2000 and Honorable Mention for the 1999 Chihuahua award.
