Description

Una magistral novela de intriga y suspenso sobre el auge petrolero de los años setenta.

Morir en el Golfo es la puesta en escena de un pleito mortal, un trazo nítido e inquietante del modo en que se da la lucha por algunos espacios de poder en el México contemporáneo. De un lado, la hermosa y perversa Anabela Guillaumin y su marido, el desorbitado político Francisco Rojano. Del otro, un cacique sindical petrolero, Lázaro Pizarro, encarnación del mundo corporativo y autoritario mexicano.
 
En medio, el narrador de la historia, un columnista influyente, arrastrado al conflicto por su amistad con Anabella y Rojano. Frente a ellos, testigo y árbitro, el personaje sin nombre, jefe de la policía política del país, administrador de las sombras y los secretos del Estado.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Dying in the Gulf is the staging of a deadly lawsuit, a clear and disturbing portrait of the ways in which the struggle for power takes place in contemporary Mexico. On the one side, we find the beautiful and perverse Anabela Guillaumin and her husband, the steep politician Francisco Rojano. On the other, the oil union boss, Lázaro Pizarro, is the incarnation of the Mexican corporate authoritarian world. 
 
The narrator of the story, an influential columnist, is drawn into the conflict because of his friendship with Anabella and Rojano. Standing right in front of them, a nameless character who is the head of the country’s political police, with access to all kinds of privileged information, acts as witness and judge.
