The first of these, <em>Un asesino solitario<\/em>, was published in 1999, although it was not until 2007, with the publication of his work <em>Balas de plata<\/em>, that the author received international recognition. A work with which he won the Tusquets Novel Prize and in which his readers will meet for the first time the figure of the charismatic detective Edgar Mendieta, better known as Zurdo Mendieta. A shrewd officer, belonging to the Ministerial Police of the City of Culiac\u00e1n who, not always through the most legal means, will try to seek the truth, questioning through his alliances and actions the Manichean discourse about the police and drug trafficking in Mexico.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #b0b0b0;\"><br \/>\nWe spoke with writer \u00c9lmer Mendoza about the latest installment of this iconic character.
