The story of a Mexican cartel is given Shakespearean lyricism in Yuri Herrera's crime novel Kingdom Cons.
I loved the last book I read from Herrera, The Transmigration of Bodies, another crime novel set in this case against an apocalyptic landscape. This novel also featured a lot of interesting writing, but I was not nearly as compelled by the situations.
Herrera is a unique and worthy voice in crime fiction and I have enjoyed seeking him out, even if this slim novel did not resonate with me as much as the last one.
I bought this with a Father's Day Amazon card and read it quickly.
