Paperback. Condición: Good. 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. Sergio Ramirez's second volume of The Managua Trilogy is infused with his mastery of complex narrative, sharp characterization, ironic humor, and ethos of human resilience. The venality and lust for power underlying the recent history of Nicaragua are vividly brought to life in No One Weeps for Me Now. …

Paperback. Condición: Good. «El que hace sombra, pierde el cuerpo y pierde la sombra --dijo Lord Dixon--. Apunte esa frase, camarada, que es de mi propia cosecha.» Estamos en pleno siglo XXI, en una Nicaragua en la que se están viviendo unas revueltas populares que son reprimidas brutalmente por el gobierno, apoyado en el siniestro brazo ejecutor del jefe de los servicios secretos. El inspector Dolores Morales debe enfrentarse en la distancia con ese ser terrible apodado Tongolele, responsable último de su exilio en Honduras, que mueve con frialdad y cinismo, en parte gracias a los consejos adivinatorios de su madre, muchos hilos de la desquiciada política del país. La magistral prosa de Sergio Ramírez va desvelando poco a poco un entramado turbio, lleno de secretismos, traiciones y oscuras maniobras al que tendrá que enfrentarse el inspector Morales, respaldado por el inefable Lord Dixon, doña Sofía Smith y el resto de sus socios. Porque, en esa Nicaragua siempre turbulenta, cualquier paso puede darse en falso y provocar el derrumbe definitivo de aquel que decida enfrentarse de algún modo, por ridículo que sea, al poder establecido. «Aúna la narración, la poesía y el rigor del observador y el actor y refleja la viveza de la vida cotidiana convirtiendo la realidad en una obra de arte, todo ello con excepcional altura literaria y en pluralidad de géneros.» Jurado del Premio Cervantes ENGLISH DESCRIPTION It is the XXI century in a Nicaragua experiencing numerous popular uprisings which are being brutally repressed by the government, and supported by the sinister head of the secret services. From afar, inspector Dolores Morales must confront the terrible Tongolele, as he is nicknamed, who was ultimately responsible for Morales' exile in Honduras, and who moves many threads in the country's deranged politics with coldness and cynicism, partly thanks to his mother's prophetic advice. Sergio Ramírez' masterful prose gradually reveals a murky network, full of secrets, betrayals, and dark plots that inspector Morales will have to face, backed by the indescribable Lord Dixon, Ms. Sofía Smith, and his other partners. Because, in an always volatile Nicaragua, missteps can be taken easily and cause the ultimate collapse of those who decide to confront the establishment in power. "It combines narration, poetry, and the rigor of the observer and the actor [and] reflects the liveliness of everyday life, turning reality into a work of art, all with exceptional literary excellence and in a plurality of genres." -Cervantes Prize Jury.…
