Synopsis
Bad Luck is the owner of an undernourished fight rooster, some tapes of northern music, a lighter, a broken tape recorder, a complete pack of Spanish cards, another of incomplete French cards, a silk shirt, a hydraulic jack and a set of keys and dice which his uncle supposedly gave him. His nickname is due to the fact that his hair is of a flaming red color, while his voice, which is good to claim in all directions that he is "ugly but has a nice body", sounds as if "some gravel have choked in his throat". In this book we will witness how, after a violent quarrel with the local mafia, Malasuerte flees his town in the mountains of Sinaloa, toward Tijuana, where he will begin to forge himself a reputation as the best private detective in the city. "Malasuerte in Tijuana" is a stupendous novel on a raw, despairing and brutal reality: the northern frontier of Mexico. Hilario Peña is an astounding writer. Malasuerte es dueño de un gallo de pelea desnutrido, unas cuantas cintas de música norteña, un encendedor, una grabadora descompuesta, una baraja española completa, otra francesa incompleta, una camisa de seda, un gato hidráulico y un juego de llaves y dados que supuestamente le había regalado un tío suyo. Su sobrenombre se debe a que su cabello es de color rojo, mientras que su voz, la cual le sirve para presumir a los cuatro vientos que es: feo pero de buen cuerpo, suena como si trajera grava atorada en la garganta. En este libro atestiguaremos cómo Malasuerte huye de su pueblo ubicado en la sierra de Sinaloa, luego de un violento altercado con la mafia local, hacia Tijuana, donde comenzará a forjar su reputación como el mejor detective privado de la ciudad. Malasuerte en Tijuana es una estupenda novela sobre una realidad cruda, brutal y desesperanzadora: la frontera norte de México.
