ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"After every game over there is always another play again."

This is the story of a great friendship. Both Rubn (Ruby) and Lamberto (Roxy) are extremely fond of other people's belongings and can't wait to devour Mexico City to the rhythm of The Clash. It is the eighties. There are no mobile phones, no street cameras or text messages. The world today is so free, that there is no shortage of scoundrels eager to bend it to their advantage. And banditry abounds to such an extent, that trusting your own shadow is a risk that could cost you dearly.

The Scoundrel Years goes through the entire decade from beginning to end, among a full array of rascals, beauties, thugs, strippers, heirs, transvestites, vedettes, petty thieves, socialites, worshipers, and financial outlaws--the city fauna that runs along these pages in the manner of a rampant escape, greed on their shoulders and loot in the air. An adrenaline-packed novel, full of vertigo and wickedness, where the purest soul shows its true colors and each new day insists on bringing the least expected.
