“A razor-sharp historical noir that doesn’t pull any punches.” — Alex Segura- bestselling author of Alter Ego and Secret Identity A Chicano noir retelling of the Sleepy Lagoon Murder Trial and the Zoot Suit Riots during 1943 wartime Los Angeles- DEATH TO PACHUCO is an untold story lost from the American history books. During the summer of 1943- Los Angeles became a hotbed of tension and conflict as a series of fierce clashes erupted between U.S. Navy members and Mexican American youth stemming from the murder of Carlos Urbano. Private eye Ricardo “Ricky” Tellez needs to find the Sleep Lagoon Killer before the racist mob kills him in the Zoot Suit Riots. The clock is ticking—and it’s a bad time to be a Mexican. The syndicated team of HENRY BARAJAS (LA VOZ DE M.A.Y.O. TATA RAMBO- HELM GREYCASTLE) and RACHEL MERRILL (Izzy n’ Jean- New Yorker) uncover a Chino Noir rooted in the shameful parts of LA's history! Early praise for DEATH TO PACHUCO:"...stylish- soulful- and unflinchingly honest exploration of identity and history."—Lotusland Comics"Equal parts crime story- love letter to Chicano heritage- and socio-cultural warning- 'Death to Pachuco' is exactly what we need right now."—AIPT"A hardboiled detective story that gives you an up close look at the side of the story that doesn't often get told. Equal parts Chinatown and Inherent Vice- this is a can't miss book for noir fans."—Matthew Rosenberg (WE'RE TAKING EVERYONE DOWN WITH US- WHAT'S THE FURTHEST PLACE FROM HERE?)
