The Devil's Voice
A body is found in a dark empty parking lot, already the second of the year -- two seemingly random murders of young women eerily similar enough to suggest they were committed by the same killer. A third body is discovered shortly after. The beautiful young woman is a friend of Detective Paul Mullin; now his investigation has become personal. It becomes his obsession, and he will never stop until he has justice. Therapist Katie Sheridan of the state hospital in town begins to suspect a patient under her care. She enlists the help of Jack Connolly, a recently-hired college student, who also senses that there is something more lurking in the mind of this patient than meets the eye.

Heroes of the Borderlands
Few genres were as popular and as enduring in twentieth-century Mexico as the Western. Christopher Conway’s lavishly illustrated Heroes of the Borderlands tells the surprising story of the Mexican Western for the first time, exploring how Mexican authors and artists reimagined US film and comic book Westerns to address Mexican politics and culture.

Full of memorable movie stills, posters, lobby cards, comic book covers, and period advertising, Heroes of the Borderlands redefines our understanding of Mexican popular culture by uncovering a vibrant genre that has been hiding in plain sight.
