      About This Book

      "Melo's prize-winning novel (Matador) is a thriller about a man who accidentally becomes a hired killer and a local hero. Once again Landers achieves an excellent result: colloquial, entirely readable, and authentic, with just the right tone for its narrator whose language one reviewer has called 'racy hoodlum-speak.'"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.http://www.loc.gov/hlas/When Maiquel, a young Brazilian used car salesman, gets his first taste of the kill in a barroom brawl, he soon becomes a killer-for-hire
