Un pacto demoniaco se ha fraguado en las mazmorras de la política.
México, 1994. El Candidato Oficial a la presidencia es asesinado durante un mitin en Tijuana. La hegemonía de su partido se tambalea y el país vive momentos de tensión. Mientras la prensa sostiene la hipótesis del asesino solitario y las teorías de conspiración alteran los ánimos sociales, otro desconocido mata al Secretario General del partido en el poder. Lo que nadie sabe es que ambos magnicidas fueron visitados, en sus sueños, por una mujer llamada Scheva, quien les encomendó la misión apocalíptica de acabar con los tiranos.
Moctezuma --un periodista de lo insólito-- se involucra en las investigaciones de su novia Cristina --una reportera de nota política--, y juntos se adentran fatalmente en los sótanos de un culto que se ha conformado con un solo objetivo: concentrar el poder y transmitirlo mediante pactos de sangre.
Mezcla de novela negra, terror sobrenatural y thriller político, El rito del poder reinventa algunas figuras de la historia mexicana y de la cultura popular para desarrollar un argumento tan original como perturbador: los vínculos de la élite política con la brujería, el espiritismo, la santería y el satanismo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A demonic pact has been forged in the dungeons of politics.
Mexico, 1994. The Official Candidate for the presidency is assassinated during a rally in Tijuana. The hegemony of his party is tottering and the country is experiencing moments of tension. While the press supports the lone assassin hypothesis and conspiracy theories alter social moods, another unknown person kills the Secretary General of the party in power. What no one knows is that both assassins were visited, in their dreams, by a woman named Scheva, who entrusted them with the apocalyptic mission of putting an end to tyrants.
Moctezuma - a journalist of the unusual - becomes involved in the investigations of his girlfriend Cristina - a political reporter - and together they fatally enter the basements of a cult that has been made up of a single objective: to concentrate power and transmit it through blood pacts.
A mixture of crime novel, supernatural horror and political thriller, El rito del poder (The Rite of Power) reinvents some figures from Mexican history and popular culture to develop a plot as original as it is disturbing: the links of the political elite with witchcraft, spiritism, Santeria and Satanism.
