Fascinating...seductive." --"The New York Times Book Review" Chief of the Copacabana precinct Espinosa is more than happy to interrupt his paperwork when a terrified young man arrives at the station with a bizarre story. A psychic has predicted that he would commit a murder, it seems, and the prediction has become fact in the young man's mind. As the weather changes and the southwesterly wind -- always a sign of dramatic change -- starts up, what at first seems like paranoia becomes brutal reality. Two violent murders occur, and their only link is the lonely, clever man who had sought Espinosa out a few days earlier for help. In "Southwesterly Wind," the third in this atmospheric, erotic series featuring the inimitable Inspector Espinosa, Luiz Alfredo Garcia-Roza once again "breathes fresh air into the crime novel genre." ("Los Angeles Times") "Beautifully sad and seductive."--"Chicago Tribune" "Beguiling and ingenious."--"Kirkus Reviews" "One of the pleasures of reading Garcia-Roza derives
