Publisher's Synopsis
April of 1917, mathematician and intellectual Alejandro López del Castillo dies shot by a group of Texas Rangers. The causes of the murder are a mystery. One more death in the time of La Matanza. Almost eighty years after the crime, a six-year-old girl, the daughter of Police Lieutenant Ignacio José Malpica, makes a drawing: On a Mӧbius strip walks a cat threatened by a cross, a comet and a snake. 'Save the cat' begs the little girl. Who is the cat? This collection of short stories provides a kaleidoscopic view of life in the labyrinths of our modern world where human desires and crime mix in unexpected ways, black and yellow, where rebellious souls fight brutal battles to gain some space and redefine what it means to be human. Long ago, in ancient times, all this struggle was predicted in the converging paths of Tzat Tun Tzat.
