Description
In a city of mean streets and sinister interiors, this collection follows two days in the life of the Redeemer, a former ambulance-chasing lawyer turned arbitrator for rival Mexican crime families. As he zigzags through negotiations and danger, the book’s noir momentum reveals how violence reshapes law, loyalty, and identity. Two novellas deepen the exploration: one tracks a broker’s tense bargaining between families amid a plague, while the other follows a young woman’s crossing through a landscape where survival depends on what can be carried—and what must be left behind. With Yuri Herrera’s spare, poetic intensity and a gumshoe sensibility, the stories examine the transmigration of bodies and meanings, turning crime fiction into a meditation on power, contagion, and the human cost of order.
