description: "How do we coexist without rotting in sadness?" asks private detective Hector Belascoaran Shayne of his beleaguered and beloved Mexico. Not your typical PI, Shayne is prone to bouts of existential crisis. But that doesn't stop him from trying to solve the murder of a Cuban rhumba dancer's wife. Nor does it protect him from a fusillade of bullets fired by a Mariachi band, or from an entanglement with the C.I.A. while in Mexico investigating the woman's death. Paco Ignacio Taibo killed off Shayne in No Happy Ending,but he has resurrected the one-eyed sleuth for Return to the Same City. How? Who knows? A deep thinker and a darkly humorous character, Shayne is the perfect companion for a literary visit to the spiritual side of Mexico.' to 'Hector Belascoaran Shayne retorna en esta novela vertiginosa, alucinante y sorprendente, en la que la magia del DF, los miedos del protagonista y los recientes conflictos sociales, se mezclan con la extrana historia de un agente de la CIA. esta, la quinta novela de la serie Belascoaran, no solo significa el retorno de uno de los personajes mas entranables y solidarios, sino tambien el regreso, sin ningun tipo de concesiones, de una forma de ver y entender a la ciudad mas grande del mundo y probablemente una de las mas corruptas: Mexico, DF.'original_title: 'regreso a la misma ciudad y bajo la lluvia'
