- "While attempting to reach out to Marlene Dietrich and Orson Wells during the filming of Touch of Evil , the writer Hector Lassiter had to flee Cuidad Juarez with nothing less than the stolen head of Pancho Villa among his belongings. Pursued by dangerous assassins from the darker components of the Mexican Revolution, who through a secret society are involved with some of the most powerful politicians in the United States, Lassiter leaps out of the slums of the Rio Bravo to the exclusive Hollywood rodeos while attempting to free himself from an object that the two nations would kill to possess."
- "L'auteur de romans noirs Hector Lassiter, grand amateur d'alcool, d'aventures et de femmes, est interviewé par le jeune journaliste poète Bud Fiske, dans une cantina mexicaine malfamée. C'est alors qu'un vieil ami le charge de remettre le crâne du mythique révolutionnaire Pancho Villa à Precott Bush, membre d'une société secrète. Ils seront poursuivis par des confréries, le FBI, etc.--[Résumé de l'éditeur]."
- "Mientras se proponía alcanzar a Marlene Dietrich y Orson Welles durante la filmación de Touch of evil, el escritor Hector Lassiter se ve obligado a huir de Ciudad Juárez ni más ni menos que con la cabeza robada de Pancho Villa entre sus pertenencias. Perseguido lo mismo por peligrosos asesinos provenientes del lado oscuro de la revolución mexicana que por una sociedad secreta que involucra a algunos de los políticos más poderosos de los Estados Unidos, Lassiter salta de los tugurios del Río Bravo a los exclusivos rodajes hollywoodenses al tiempo que intenta desembarazarse de un objeto que dos naciones matarían por poseer."
