Incredibly prophetic novellas, especially The Transmigration of Bodies. ( )

This is an interesting trilogy. The first part tells the story of a singer. Involuntarily / voluntarily, he is ordered to the 'court' of a cartel boss. There he tells the hero's deeds of the boss who acts like a king. On the other hand, he experiences all the intrigues, power games and killings that take place in this 'yard' and he always tries not to fall into disfavour. On the other hand, there is one person he tries to free from the clutches of the rulers. The story is exciting and shows how it goes back and forth behind the scenes of a cartel.
The second story is about a young woman crossing the border to find her brother in the United States. It shows how the human smuggling works across the border, such as tugs money is given as a hand washes the other and how those affected at the end but the poor bastards are. This part of the Mexican trilogy is written very sensitively.
The third part is written witty, even if its content is not laughable. It's almost like the legacy of Romeo and Juliet, only this time the warring Mexican cartels are the families. In one family, the daughter is found dead in the other the son. Both have not been killed by anyone but have died from tragic accidents. Nevertheless, both families accuse the other of killing their child. A mediator has his hands full to bring the truth to light, while he himself has enough own problems on his neck and runs the risk that he is killed in the whole action itself. n addition, he currently has a problem with his love life, which seems to occupy him more than his case.
