Summary: Mysteries of the Border
Review: Set in Tijuana, Dia de los Muertos is all about borders, between life and death, love and hate, doom and redemption, joy and despair. It's one day in the life of Vincent Calhoun, a rogue DEA agent who's run out of last chances. His colleagues are onto him, he owes more money than he could possibly repay, and he's dying of dengue fever -- but it seems to him that he might just be able to pull things out, especially when the love of his life gets off a prison bus in the town square. Dia de los Muertos combines nerve-wracking suspense with bizarre humor (a 400-pound mobster who needs to be smuggled across the border) and, above all, a wild and unexpected sense of romance. The new introduction by James Crumley places DIA squarely in the classic noir tradition.
