3.0

Fun, weird detective novel set in a Mexican border city with an encroaching political revolution surrounding the strange murders at the center of the story. All set around a famous author of detective novels taking over as the city's Chief of Police since he is 'too famous to kill,' unlike the previous C0P's.
