RELEVANT DATA: The legendary “Lefty” Mendieta saga is considered one of the most important references of narco-lit. A vibrant Mexican story that explores a framework of betrayals, deals, and conspiracies of a society in which organized crimes are part of everyday life. He counts on the help of his contacts within his network and even friends from the other side to solve cases.Īction, adrenaline, narcs, gunshots, personal problems, family conflicts and an ensemble of situations with a dizzying narration and an agile and intelligent language. He consistently proves that he is not adept enough to scrutinize crime, but he is clever and astute enough to detect subtle clues that the delinquents leave behind. In an unbridled Mexico, violent but sensitive, where nobody respects the police, let alone the law, “Lefty” Mendieta plunges into all sorts of peculiar and bizarre investigations. He is accompanied by Gris Toledo, a former traffic agent whom he hired after she fined “Lefty” despite knowing that he was a police officer. He is addicted to smoking and anti-anxiety medication, and his work-related modus operandi consists in interrogating his witnesses, writing incomprehensible notes down on his hand and ignoring the majority of the witnesses testimonies. He is rather fond of rock music and whiskey and his go-to outfit is sneakers, jeans and a jacket.
He is also desperate, anxious and has a sarcastic and biting humor, constantly using weapons (and his fists), but he has a big heart. He is smart man, against further judgment of his careless aspect. Despite having studied literature in college, he works for fast and easy money at the Police Station of the State of Culiacán in Sinaloa (México). He meets with his therapist regularly on account of his past traumas that he is having trouble coming to terms with.
It is foolish to die because of stress, when you could calmly kill yourself with a bullet.Įdgar “Lefty” Mendieta is a police officer in his 40s whose wife just left him. Kiss the Detective | Murder in Sinaloa Park Silver Bullets | The Acid Taste | Name of the Dog
