The Shamshine Blind
A Novel
Paz Pardo
In an alternate 2009, the US has been left behind thanks to Argentina's victory in the Falklands War and their development of "psychopigments" - colorful chemicals that can produce any human emotion. This noir detective story meets sci-fi follows Psychopigment Enforcement Agent Kay Curtida as she uncovers a conspiracy to bring down American democracy. A funny and brooding Latinx Sam Spade narrates this beautifully crafted mash-up, delving into the truth of emotions in a world where they've been weaponized.
