Serrano's obsession with his best-friend's sister, Liliana, began in a bathroom triste, when they were teenagers. Liliana's enigmatic beauty haunts and trails Serrano for the next thirty years. Every time, he tries to flee her memory, she somehow returns and when she involves him, in a murder and a conspiracy, he is entangled for good.
With echoes of Chandler and Cain, this superb, hard-boiled story, is both spare and hypnotizing. This is only the second translated work by Camin and it is translated very effectively. I plan on reading more of this talented Mexican author's work.
