By Homero Aridjis. 2012
"Accompanied by Pek, a xolo dog with whom he has a lively conversation, José Navaja searches for his brother, who…
may have been murdered. The search takes him from Mexico City to Ciudad Juárez and the Mexica underworld, where he meets a whole range of sinister and spectral characters: narcos, their girlfriends, psychopathic policemen, kidnappers hunted to death, gods of the Aztec pantheon, rabid hitmen, and orphaned children waiting to grow up to become predators. This novel is a sort of mythological thriller, but it is also much more than that: a successful conjunction of past and present, of representation of today's brutal Mexico and the ancient supernatural world of gods, priests and hitmen where both solar rites and human sacrifices are practiced; finally, it is also a tribute to the ancestors before the mestizaje, to their speech and their worldview, which have crossed several centuries and resonate in our present." -- Translation provided by NLSHarry Potter y el prisionero de Azkaban

And one of them may be next on her list." -- Goodreads
