She's not sure what she will find--her cousin's husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemí knows little about the region. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNoemí is also an unlikely rescuer: She's a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she's also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: Not of her cousin's new husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noemí; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemi's dreams with visions of blood and doom. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHer only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family's youngest son. Shy and gentle, he seems to want to help Noemí, but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family's past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family's once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noemí digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd Noemí, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic house behind. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"It's as if a supernatural power compels us to turn the pages of the gripping \u003ci\u003eMexican Gothic\u003c\/i\u003e.\"--\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Mexican Gothic is the perfect summer horror read, and marks Moreno-Garcia with her hypnotic and engaging prose as one of the genre's most exciting talents.\"\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eNerdist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A period thriller as rich in suspense as it is in lush '50s atmosphere.\"\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSilvia Moreno-Garcia\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of the critically acclaimed speculative novels \u003ci\u003eGods of Jade and Shadow\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSignal to Noise, Certain Dark Things, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Beautiful Ones; \u003c\/i\u003eand the crime novel \u003ci\u003eUntamed Shore\u003c\/i\u003e.
