Hit List: The Best of Latino Mystery

Hit List: The Best of Latino Mystery

This groundbreaking anthology of short fiction by Latino mystery writers features an intriguing and unpredictable cast of sleuths, murderers and crime victims. Reflecting the authorsâ€™â€”and societyâ€™sâ€”preoccupation with identity, self, and territory, the stories run the gamut of the mystery genre, from traditional to noir, from the private investigator to the police procedural, and even a â€œchick litâ€ mystery.
â€œThe Right Profileâ€ features a Miami private investigator who goes undercover to prove a deadbeat father can pay child support, and she delights in testifying against him in court. In â€œThe Skull of Pancho Villa,â€ someone has stolen the family heirloom and itâ€™s up to Gus Corral to get it back. And in â€œA New York Chicano,â€ a successful bachelor from El Pasoâ€”a graduate of NYU working for Merrill Lynch in Manhattanâ€”gets his revenge against a xenophobic newscaster.
Hit List collects for the first time short fiction by many of the Latino authors who have been pioneers in the mystery genre, using it to showcase their unique cultures, neighborhoods and realities. Contributors include award-winning writers such as Carolina GarcÃa-Aguilera, Alicia Gaspar de Alba, Rolando Hinojosa, Manuel Ramos and Sergio Troncoso, as well as emerging writers who deserve more recognition.
