"Un maravilloso y sobrecogedor debut... es una obra maestra disfrazada de novela polic???aca y nada que haya le???do este a???o se le compara". --Junot D???az De Mart???n Solares, ganador del Premio de Ensayo Literario Jos??? Revueltas 2016. Los minutos negros ser??? pr???ximamente adaptada a su versi???n cinematogr???fica, protagonizada por Diego Luna y Demi???n Bichir. Un despistado polic???a investiga un crimen en Paracu???n, Tamaulipas, con creciente pasmo. ???Ser??? aquel asesino de ni???as, de los setenta? ???El narco? ???La sanguinaria polic???a secreta? Entre un ex polic???a de humor negr???simo y un jesuita devoto al vodka y la farsa, el detective descubrir??? que la vida en esta ciudad es una oscura sinfon???a donde todos sus integrantes tienen deudas con la ley. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Breathless, marvelous... Latin American fiction at its pulpy, phantasmagorical finest... A literary masterpiece masquerading as a police procedural." --Junot Diaz When a young journalist named Bernardo Blanco is killed in the fictional Mexican port city of Paracu???n, investigation into his murder reveals missing links in a disturbing multiple homicide case from twenty years earlier. As police officer Ram???n "el Macet???n" Cabrera discovers, Blanco had been writing a book about a 1970s case dealing with the murder of several young schoolgirls in Paracu???n by a man known as El Chaneque. Cabrera realizes that whoever killed Blanco wanted to keep the truth about El Chaneque from being revealed, and he becomes determined to discover that truth. The Black Minutes chronicles both Cabrera's investigation into Blanco's murder and goes back in time to follow detective Vicente Rangel's investigation of the original El Chaneque case. Both narratives expose worlds of corruption, from cops who are content to close the door on a case without true justice to powerful politicians who can pay their way out of their families' crimes. Full of dark twists and turns, and populated by a cast of captivating--and mostly corrupt--characters, The Black Minutes is an electrifying novel from a brilliant new voice. "Mr. Solares is a graceful, even poetic, writer, especially in his hard-boiled dialogue and his descriptions of the wildly varied landscapes and ethnic types of northern Mexico." --Larry Rohter, The New York
