Velvet was the Night by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Maite is a secretary bored with her job. She is addicted to romance comics and largely ignores the political climate outside her window. When her glamorous neighbor Leonora disappears, Maite searches for her and finds herself being drawn into Leonora's world of student protests and dissidents. At the same time, a mob enforcer named Elvis is also looking for Leonora, but for different reasons.
As much as I like the author's two previous novels, this one was disappointing. It was very slow moving and the characters were uninteresting. It did have a great cover - very noir-ish.
