  • "Detective Héctor Belascoarán Shayne weary from coping with his mother's death and his lover's flight, is involved in three perplexing cases: murder in a corruption filled factory, violent threats against the teenage daughter of a former porn star, and a missing person case involving Emiliano Zapata!"
  • "Set amidst the political turbulence and social unrest of contemporary Mexico City, An Easy Thing introduces English-speaking readers to Taibo?s human and world-weary protagonist, independent detective Hctor Belascoarn Shayne. In this debut outing, our hero, who, incidentally, possesses an insatiable appetite for Coca Cola and cigarettes, tackles three cases simultaneously: a killing in a corrupt factory; the deadly threats against a former porn starlet?s teenage daughter; and, strangely, the search for Emiliano Zapata, folk hero and leader of the Mexican Revolution, rumored to be alive and hiding out in a cave outside Mexico City. Combining black comedy, social history and a touch of surrealism, Paco Taibo?s wonderfully idiosyncratic detective novels are admired the world over and are particularly popular in Europe and in the Spanish-speaking world."
  • ""?Emiliano Zapata no está muerto??Quién asesinó al ingeniero en esa fábrica al borde de una huelga??Por qué persiguen a la hija adolescente de la actriz porno? ... Belascoarán ... se lanza a la aventura de resolver tres enigmas cuya solución es como el ensamble de un vasto rompecabezas ..."--Page 4 of cover."
  • "A Mexican private eye tackles three mysteries at once--a kidnapping, two murders at a steel plant and rumors that a famed Mexican Revolution martyr is still alive. -- Un investigador privado mexicano aborda tres misterios a la vez: un secuestro, dos asesinatos en una fábrica, y rumores de que Emiliano Zapata está todavía vivo."
