Tijuana Noir: a Long Short Story Eduardo Flores

Tijuana Confidential: The crime investigation of a Catholic Church Cardinal murdered in Tijuana's Airport parking lot in the middle of a narco-traffickers war triggers an intrigue that threats to expose the relationship between the government, the church and organized crime in this infamous city. This dark fiction happens in the collective imaginary that is Tijuana of the 90's. A killer that tries desperately to erase his trace, a District Attorney with no one to trust, a hard-boiled private eye, the imperfect hero in the best tradition of the Detective Novella, and an archetypal Femme Fatale warming his bed at the end of the day fuel this thriller. Tijuana Noir has the furious plasticity of the Cinema Noir films, immersed in evil to the end with a gallery of "damned" marginal characters inspired by the police chronicles newspapers, pop culture and the US/Mexico border experience.
