HTML:<b><i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> EDITORS’ CHOICE •</b> <b><i>GOOD MORNING AMERICA</i></b> <b>BUZZ PICK •</b> <b>From the</b> <b>bestselling author of <i>Mexican Gothic</i> comes a</b> <b>riveting noir</b> <b>about a daydreaming secretary, a lonesome enforcer, and the mystery of a missing woman they’re both desperate to find.</b><br /> <br /> <b>“An adrenalized, darkly romantic journey.”—<i>The Washington Post</i></b><br /> <br /> 1970s, Mexico City. Maite is a secretary who lives for one thing: the latest issue of <i>Secret Romance</i>. While student protests and political unrest consume the city, Maite escapes into stories of passion and danger.<br /> <br /> Her next-door neighbor, Leonora, a beautiful art student, seems to live a life of intrigue and romance that Maite envies. When 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.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, someone else is also looking for Leonora at the behest of his boss, a shadowy figure who commands goon squads dedicated to squashing political activists. Elvis is an eccentric criminal who longs to escape his own life: He loathes violence and loves old movies and rock ’n’ roll. But as Elvis searches for the missing woman, he watches Maite from a distance—and comes to regard her as a kindred spirit who shares his love of music and the unspoken loneliness of his heart.<br /> <br /> Now as Maite and Elvis come closer to discovering the truth behind Leonora’s disappearance, they can no longer escape the danger that threatens to consume their lives, with hitmen, government agents, and Russian spies all aiming to protect Leonora’s secrets—at gunpoint.<br /> <br /> <i>Velvet Was the Night</i> is an edgy, simmering historical novel for lovers of smoky noirs and anti-heroes.
