From the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic comes a riveting noir set in 1970s Mexico City, featuring a daydreaming secretary, a lonesome thug, and the mystery of a missing woman. Maite, a secretary, escapes the turbulent world of student protests and political unrest through the pages of Secret Romance. She envies her neighbor Leonora, an art student whose life seems filled with intrigue. When Leonora mysteriously disappears, Maite embarks on a quest to uncover her secrets, delving into a world of student radicals and dissidents. Simultaneously, Elvis, an eccentric thug working for a shadowy figure who commands goon squads against political activists, is also searching for Leonora. Despite his disdain for violence, he finds solace in old movies and rock 'n' roll. As he seeks the missing woman, he becomes increasingly captivated by Maite, who shares his love for music and reflects his own loneliness. As Maite and Elvis inch closer to the truth behind Leonora's disappearance, they confront escalating dangers, including hitmen, government agents, and Russian spies, all intent on protecting Leonora's secrets—at gunpoint.
