No One Weeps for Me Now - Paperback

by Sergio Ramirez (Author), Daryl R. Hague (Translator)

Years after his unceremonious firing from the National Police for an act of heroic insubordination recounted in The Sky Weeps for Me, (2020), Inspector Dolores Morales -- scraping by as a private investigator -- finds himself summoned before a powerful Nicaraguan oligarch, Miguel Soto, whose step-daughter has gone missing. Morales is summarily given the lucrative if daunting task of finding her with only her name and two photographs, and three days to complete the search. But thanks to the intrepid Dona Sofia's ingenuity, and the watchful if ethereal presence of former partner Bert Dixon--as well as a host of colorful if reluctant confederates enlisted from among Managua's demimonde--Morales methodically untangles a scandal of national proportions. As his unwelcome discoveries attract the personal animosity of Nicaragua's director of national intelligence, the pursuer becomes the pursued, and Morales confronts a painful dilemma.
