«Los minutos negros» is the crime novel by Martín Solares, published by Debolsillo in hardcover (464 pages, in Spanish).
In the port of Paracuán, Tamaulipas, a not-so-bright policeman investigates the murder of a journalist that occurred twenty years earlier. He soon doubts the culprit and links the case to the deaths of several girls in the seventies, in a plot of corrupt cops, nascent drug trafficking, and echoes of B. Traven and Quiroz Cuarón.
The work was originally published in 2006 and this Debolsillo hardcover edition came out in 2007.
For fans of noir fiction and police thrillers with a Mexican atmosphere.
Martín Solares is a Mexican writer, critic and editor who received the Efraín Huerta National Literary Award in 1998 for his short story, "El planeta Cloralex". The 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction laureate, Junot Díaz, praises his work as "brilliant, but mostly unavailable in English".
