Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Published for the first time in the UK, this is the acknowledged masterpiece from this Latin American writer who died in 2003. It is an epic novel set in a fictional city on the US-Mexico border, spanning a 20th century of corruption, violence and decadence.

Publisher's description:

Santa Teresa, on the Mexico-US border, is an urban sprawl that draws in lost souls. Among them are three academics on the trail of a reclusive German author; a New York reporter on his first Mexican assignment; a widowed philosopher; and a police detective in love with an elusive older woman. But there is darker side still to the town.
