Product Information
GOOD MORNING AMERICA BUZZ PICK * From the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic comes a simmering historical noir about a daydreaming secretary, a lonesome enforcer, and the mystery of the missing woman they're both desperate to find. ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, NPR, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, New York Public Library, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, BookPage, She Reads, Library Journal * "An adrenalized, darkly romantic journey."-- The Washington Post Mexico in the 1970s is a dangerous country, even for Maite, a secretary who spends her life seeking the romance found in cheap comic books and ignoring the activists protesting around the city. When her next-door neighbor, the beautiful art student Leonora, disappears under suspicious circumstances, Maite finds herself searching for the missing woman--and journeying deeper into Leonora's secret life of student radicals and dissidents. Mexico in the 1970s is a politically fraught land, even for Elvis, a goon with a passion for rock 'n' roll who knows more about kidney-smashing than intrigue. When Elvis is assigned to find Leonora, he begins a blood-soaked search for the woman--and his soul. Swirling in parallel trajectories, Maite and Elvis attempt to discover the truth behind Leonora's disappearance, encountering hitmen, government agents, and Russian spies. Because Mexico in the 1970s is a noir, where life is cheap and the price of truth is high.

" Velvet Was the Night is a delicious, twisted treat for lovers of noir. Silvia Moreno-Garcia is a masterful writer who pulls you into her dark world and never lets you go. From the suspenseful, slow-burn plot to the crisp, desperate characters, you will be obsessed." --Simone St. James, New York Times bestselling author of The Sun Down Motel " Velvet Was the Night is a rollicking work of historical noir with a vivid sense of time and place and an unforgettable cast. Moreno-Garcia made me care deeply about her characters and their dangerous, riveting misadventures. This is a stylish hard-boiled novel painted in shades of gray with a whole lot of heart." --Steph Cha, author of Your House Will Pay "Silvia Moreno-Garcia takes you into the gritty underworld noir of 1970s Mexico City with a propulsive read where no one and nothing is as it seems." --Isabella Maldonado, bestselling author of The Cipher " Velvet Was the Night cements Silvia Moreno-Garcia's incredible versatility as an amazing writer who moves effortlessly between genres. It's a lush, magnificent trip into a world of danger and discovery--not to be missed!" --S. A. Cosby, author of Blacktop Wasteland and Razorblade Tears, " Velvet Was the Night is a delicious, twisted treat for lovers of noir.

It's a lush, magnificent trip into a world of danger and discovery--not to be missed!" --S. A. Cosby, author of Blacktop Wasteland and Razorblade Tears "This seductive neo-noir thriller from bestseller Moreno-Garcia ( Mexican Gothic ) draws on the real-life efforts of the Mexican government to suppress political dissent in the 1970s. . . . A rich novel with an engrossing plot, distinctive characters, and a pleasing touch of romance. Readers won't be able to put it down." -- Publishers Weekly , (starred review), "[ Velvet was the Night ] is a noir with a heart of gold, and it's a narrative in which the empathy we feel for its characters ultimately reveals an important truth: That Moreno-Garcia is not only a talented storyteller but also an incredibly versatile one." --NPR "An absolute flex . . . [ Velvet was the Night ] left me marveling at what kind of sorceress Moreno-Garcia must be as she reworks genre after genre, weaving in Mexican history and culture, satisfying familiar cravings without resorting to mere pastiche. The most tantalizing suspense of all comes with wondering what she'll do next." -- Slate "An adrenalized, darkly romantic journey." -- The Washington Post "Moreno-Garcia proves her prowess as a historical fiction powerhouse again." -- Buzzfeed "Immensely satisfying, refreshingly new and gloriously written. Here Moreno-Garcia mashes up Anglocentric genres with midcentury Mexican history, resulting in a brew flavored with love, heartbreak, violence, music and unsettling dread... The gift of this book, and Moreno-Garcia's storytelling, is how it imbues this well-worn genre with added strength, grace and even musicality." --The New York Times Book Review, "Editor's Choice" "An enthralling tale that's as fun as it is mysterious... The characters are fascinating, the tone lush and romantic, and it's all wrapped up in a mystery with twists and turns one likely won't see coming . . . [Silvia Moreno-Garcia is] the sort of author whose works automatically end up on your "must read" list." -- USA Today "The author's previous novel, Mexican Gothic , turned the screw on the traditional ghost story; here she gleefully pries hard-boiled noir from the cold, white hands of Chandler and Hammett." -- Oprah Daily "A lush, magnificent trip into a world of danger and discovery. Not to be missed!" --S.A. Cosby, author of Blacktop Wasteland and Razorblade Tears ". . . a rich novel with an engrossing plot, distinctive characters, and a pleasing touch of romance. Readers won't be able to put it down." -- Publishers Weekly , (starred review) "Fans of Moreno-Garcia's other novels will relish this title, as will noir aficionados and readers who like stories about everymen and women rising to the occasion." -- Library Journal (starred review) "It's hard to describe how much fun this novel is--Moreno-Garcia, whose Mexican Gothic (2020) gripped readers last year, proves to be just as good at noir as she is at horror. The novel features memorable characters, taut pacing, an intricate plot, and antiheroes you can't help but root for. A noir masterpiece." -- Kirkus Reviews , (starred review) "Moreno-Garcia . . . returns to noir crime fiction with a winner that brings together a romance-fiction obsessed secretary and a lovelorn enforcer during the brutally suppressed student riots in 1970s Mexico City." -- Booklist , (starred review)
