The Execution

New York: William Morrow, 2014 Red boards with red tape binding; black lettering on spine; dj is not price-clipped and is protected with a Brodart cover; stated first edition. A Jeremy Fisk Nove. "A number of bodies are discovered on the United States' border with Mexico, each carved with a bizarre symbol: a hummingbird. Detective Cecilia Garza - dubbed the Ice Queen among her colleagues at the Mexican intelligence agency because she's famous for never showing an ounce of weakness - arrives at the scene and recognizes the image immediately; it is the calling card of a killer called Chuparosa, a man both feared and celebrated for his cunning and brutality. Known to be incorruptible in a seemingly lawless land, Detective Garza has pursued this killer for years, yet knows little about him, except that he's merciless and heading to New York City -- along with the rest of the world." -- from the dj
