In the early hours of the morning, a woman is found in the elevator of a plush apartment block on Santa Fe Road, Buenos Aires. She's young, gorgeous and dead.

I am loving the genre of crime noir fiction at the moment - and this is no exception.
This time the setting is in Buenos Aires - Pancho Francesco Soler discovers the body of a murdered woman in an elevator. All the residents of the building have something to hide - after WWII, many immigrants made their way to Argentina - and many had skeletons in the closet.
The story is punchy, and not short on suspects, motives, secrets, red herrings and death.
Who is the victim and why was she killed - all is revealed in the final chapter as the pieces of this puzzle fall into place.
Further reading: Frederic Dard, Augusto de Angelis, Caimh McDonnell, Bradley Spinelli.
