Tezcatlipoca

Advanced readers often need a more exciting, challenging story. This is a detective story set in present-day Mexico, but in which it seems that the ancient Aztec god Tezcatlipoca is responsible for various deaths. Police officer Rodriguez and journalist Casanova are investigating, but that is definitely not without danger. Can they prevent their own death?

"Some easy readers are fun to read and you learn from them, but the story is not really exciting. That is completely different in this book, there are several deaths and a policeman is put on the case. He gets help from a journalist, but then they find a mirror that leads them to an ancient Aztec god. Surely this god cannot possibly be responsible for the enigmatic events? For intermediate readers of Spanish , both the language and the story are a challenge."
