Praise for the Romilia Chacoacute;n novels: "Sexy, fast paced and satisfyingly violent… The simmering tension between Romilia and her criminal admirer will leave readers eagerly anticipating the fourth book in this gritty procedural series." - Publisher's Weekly "A neat, Hitchcockian thriller… let's hope there are real FBI agents as brilliant as Romilia Chacoacute;n." - Washington Post "Romilia Chacoacute;n is smart, sexy (and how do you say 'feisty' in Spanish?)… Marcos Villatoro catches her voice and attitude so perfectly that we hope to read many more books about Chacoacute;n." - Chicago Tribune "An extended, action-filled and entertaining battle of wits on both sides of-and under-the border." - Library Journal "Villatoro's lyrical writing style provides the perfect vehicle for describing his fascinatingly flawed Salvadoran protagonist…this is a compelling, character-driven novel in which Villatoro generates tremendous sympathy for his complex and very human heroine." - Booklist "Charles Dickens, or more recently, Joyce Carol Oates and Margaret Atwood, have used the crime novel to eloquently express themselves… Add to the chorus the name of Marcos M. Villatoro… Villatoro has immersed himself in the police procedural form and has delivered a story that is enlivened by an enigmatic protagonist one hopes to see again… one of the best novels-mystery or otherwise-you'll read this year." - Los Angeles Times Book Review.
