Usigli, a poet, playwright, essayist and diplomat, experiments with the crime thriller by narrating the tribulations of a character who considers crime to be an art and a destiny. However, Usigli enriches the genre by his use of a series of characters and settings around the Mexican capital, thereby achieving an ironic examination of postrevolutionary Mexican society.
