«Se me había restituido el poder y la capacidad de chingar, y pues no me la andaba acabando de contento.» Jorge Macías es un pistolero al servicio del gobierno. Lo apodan el Europeo por el escrúpulo con que asume su trabajo: eliminar a los enemigos del sistema. A finales del sexenio, sin embargo, se queda sin trabajo ya que el presidente ha decidido pasar el tiempo que le resta inaugurando obras sin terminar y cosechando aplausos. Alejado del poder, Macías se siente extraviado. Por ello, cuando lo llaman para una misión especial, acepta a pesar de la enorme dificultad del encargo: asesinar al candidato presidencial del partido oficial. Conforme se interna en un territorio que se disputan narcotraficantes y policías judiciales, descubrirá que diversas conspiraciones pueden coincidir ferozmente en un solo hombre. Un asesino solitario es la asombrosa primera novela de Élmer Mendoza. Desde su aparición en 1999, esta novela situó a su autor en el escenario principal de la literatura mexicana, convirtiéndolo, como apunta Arturo Pérez-Reverte, en «el patriarca de la literatura norteña». ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "With my power and license to do damage restored, I couldn't have been happier." Jorge Macías is a government hitman, nicknamed the European for the fastidiousness he employs in his mission: eliminating enemies of the system. As the end of the administration approaches, however, he finds himself out of a job, with the outgoing president dedicating the time he has left in office to inaugurating new works and reveling in public adulation. Expelled from the inner circle of power, Macías feels lost. When he's called back for a special mission, he eagerly accepts, despite the enormity of the task: assassinating the ruling party's presidential candidate. As he ventures into territory disputed by drug cartels and the federal police, Macías discovers that all the conspiracies he is following lead back to a single man. First published in 1999, A Lone Assassin marked Élmer Mendoza's first foray into fiction, elevating him to the ranks of Mexico's leading authors and earning him the title of, in the words of Arturo Pérez-Reverte, "the father of Norteño literature."Shipping Notes

Good gift but particular gift for this difficult person to shop for
Format: Paperback
Got this as a gift for a friend and he was hard to shop for even after asking his wife. He's not a handyman, or a tech savvy man. He cooks, and is a well read man with interests in politics and psychology, he's not at all a gamer either. He doesnt DO much but work, it's not like he works out, golf's or anything like that... And they have a Brady bunch family and all she gave me to go on was he likes malcol x. And this author is more Malcom x than mlk and aggressive in views (when being compared to MLK) but is also very intertwined with their philosophies as he was IN it... According to the person I gave the gift to. Basically he loved it! So

Great Book.
Format: Mass Market Paperback
Its great to be able to go back and read Stokely Carmichael today in his own words. This book provides an excellent overview of what black power means and how the concept originated. Although the book seems a bit dated today, many of the ideas presented are still entirely relevant.
Ive only given the book four stars due to its age. Many of the statistics presented are dated, and undoubtedly there are other texts available today that present these ideas in a much better/newer way. But if you are interested in Stokely Carmichael and what he stood for, this is the book to read.
