Summary

Los pobres resultados de la investigación sobre el sangriento homicidio de un adivinador obligan al Zurdo Mendieta a echar mano de sus contactos dentro del oscuro mundo del narcotráfico. Pero, como todos los favores, ninguno es gratuito.

Como pago por la información sobre el homicida del adivino, al Zurdo no le queda más remedio que ayudar a la jefa a escapar. Lo consiguen mediante un plan descabellado y mucha adrenalina, aunque el rostro del detective es identificado y su misión queda truncada.

En la clandestinidad y con un futuro incierto, el Zurdo revive un traumático evento que remueve su miedo y lo regresa a la calle: su hijo ha sido secuestrado en Los Ángeles. Con ayuda del cártel viaja a Estados Unidos, donde descubre una enmarañada situación en la que reina la confusión operada
por el FBI, que esconde intereses de gran alcance que Mendieta no alcanza a vislumbrar.

Éste es el regreso del Zurdo Mendieta en una vibrante novela que explora el entramado de traiciones, pactos y conspiraciones de una sociedad en la que el crimen organizado forma parte indisoluble de la realidad cotidiana. Una vez más, el Zurdo, y su inconfundible carácter, se enfrentará a un complejo rompecabezas donde la frontera que divide la ley del crimen pierde su definición.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Poor results in the investigation of the brutal homicide of a fortune-teller force Zurdo Mendieta to resort to his contacts in the dark world of drug trafficking. But like all favors, nothing is free.
As payment for the information about the fortune-teller's death, Zurdo has no choice but to help the mob boss to escape. They manage it through a reckless plan, but the detective's face is identified and his mission aborted.
In hiding and with an uncertain future, Zurdo experiences a traumatic event that erases his fear and returns him to action: his son has been kidnapped in Los Angeles. With the help of the cartel, he travels to the United States, where he discovers a tangled, confusion-riddled situation operated by the FBI, which is hiding far-reaching interests that Mendieta can't begin to discern.
This is the return of Zurdo Mendieta in a vibrant novel that explores the labyrinth of betrayal, pacts, and conspiracies of a society in which organized crime forms part and parcel of daily life. Once more, Zurdo faces a complex puzzle where the boundary between law and crime begins to fade.
