Summary

Silvia Moreno-García: Velvet Night

Velvet Night is the new hit of the author of the successful Mexican horror novel.

Mexico in the 1970s. Danger lurks on all sides. Even Maite, a seemingly ordinary and lonely secretary who wastes her life in search of fictitious romance in cheap romance comics, and who doesn't even look back at the growing number of activist protests that are raging in the city, is not spared. When her neighbor Leonora, a beautiful art student, disappears without a trace under suspicious circumstances, Maite suddenly finds herself immersed in the world of student radicals and dissidents.

The soil of Mexico is riddled with political upheaval. Elvis, a member of a secret unit whose mission is to suppress leftist protests, is apparently a thug with abundant knowledge of how to effectively beat up a man who actually has a much deeper desire to expand his knowledge and spends his free time intoxicated by the sounds of rock 'n' roll. When Elvis is ordered to search for Leonora, he also begins a blood-stained search for himself.

As their stories intertwine, Maite and Elvis try to find out what happened to Leonora. Along the way, they collide with secret assassins, government agents and Russian spies. Mexico in the 1970s noir is an environment in which life is of little value and the price of truth is high.
