Polvo

1. ed.

En este oscuro rincon del mundo ocurre lo imposible1927. En Espinazo, Nuevo León, el Niño Fidencio hace milagros entre cientos de enfermos: tira manzanas que curan, pone emplastos de gobernadora y miel, con un trozo de vidrio abre cabezas y piernas infectadas, y difunde a su muy singular manera la palabra de Dios. En medio de aquel campamento en el desierto se respiran la desolacion y el dolor pero tambien la esperanza. El pais se desangra victima de una guerra santa y este rincon aislado del mundo alberga no solo al santon del norte y sus dolientes: tambien conviven en el un periodista esceptico, antiguo escudero del primer alcalde socialista de Acapulco, ese hombre que sabia sobrevivir a los tiros de gracia; un mago que busca vengar el asesinato de su amada mujer-serpiente, un pintor de milagros, un espia educado para escrutar el mal en los rostros humanos, un enano Caballero de Colon, un monstruo enfermo de melancolia, una hermosa dinamitera Todos, camino al infierno o ya instalados en el, asisten a un espectaculo imposible: la visita del demonio al santo, mientras una conjura se teje en las sombras para impedirlo.Una novela trepidante, llena del polvo que oscurece el rastro de ese trozo de la historia de Mexico que aun no ha sido contada.
