"The story I am going to tell begins on a night the police violated the Constitution. ..." From this opening sentence, it is clear we are in Ibargüengoitia country, a world of seduction, repression, deception, and, surprisingly, humor. Marcos, a Mexican radical, is on the run, escaping the anti-terrorist net. He heads for the provincial town of Muerdago and the home of his rich invalid uncle, Ramon Tarragona. To the intense suspicion of his cousins, all of who counting on the riches the old man's death will bring, Marcos is welcomed with open arms by Ramon. And there are other arms in the household even more welcoming. So begins a me of bluff and counter-bluff in which nothing is what it seems, a dangerous game in which the title leads us to expect become m inevitable with each move. Two Crimes is a thriller, and an exciting one, but it is more than that as well: a novel of greed and passion, told with the dark, laconic irony that marks this most original of writers.
