ABOUT
THE BOOK |
| Julián Castrodad is an ex-reporter and failed novelist working the night shift at the Motel Tulán. He rents rooms by the hour. His rules: never notice who checks in-and never let them notice you. A sleepwalker who's lost nearly everything-his girl, his hopes for a career as a writer, his dreams-Julián has no trouble cultivating invisibility. But tonight his subtle tricks at navigating this clandestine world unravel with the arrival of three strangers: Chino Pereira, a notorious drug dealer; labour attorney Efraim Soreno; and a mysterious woman only known as M, who arrives in a rented Mercedes to spend the night with a brandy glass and a bottle. Before morning, one of them will be dead, two will be missing, and Julián will feel compelled to discover why. What they have in common is something Julián never imagined-a secret and dangerous world better left to the shadows. |
