A nice historical fiction retelling of the story of Mexican politics in the 1990's. The setting is the presidential elections where Colosio is the candidate of choice for the long reigning PRI party. During the campaign, Colosio is assassinated, and this story follows the detectives who are charged with uncovering who was behind the assassination. Clearly this is a highly politicized investigation, with the full force of multiple political inquiries, corruption, divided loyalties, and cover-ups in play. I particularly enjoyed this as a bookend of the story of PRI, having just read the Mexican political story The Underdogs from the early 1900's.
