With limited money and few options, he weighs difficult choices tied to outsiders and two competing women. The story begins at a pivotal moment of self-assessment—his appearance, past skills, and lost instincts—before pushing him toward deception as a means of staying afloat.","BY SILVIA MORENO-GARCIA  \nSignal to Noise Certain Dark Things The Beautiful Ones Gods of Jade and Shadow Untamed Shore Mexican Gothic Velvet Was the Night The Daughter of Doctor Moreau Silver Nitrate The Seventh Veil of Salome The Bewitching  \nThe Intrigue  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nDel Rey  \nAn imprint of Random House  \nA division of Penguin Random House LLC  \n1745 Broadway, New York, NY 10019  \n[randomhousebooks.com](randomhousebooks.com)  \n[penguinrandomhouse.com](penguinrandomhouse.com)  \nCopyright © 2026 by Silvia Moreno-Garcia  \nPenguin Random House values and supports copyright.

Puerco Ahogado, that was the name of it. A little place on the slopes of a mountain; picturesque, he supposed. Dull. He much preferred large cities.  \nBut he was running low on cash. The guesthouse where he lodged did not have the best of clienteles, which meant that despite its central location it remained something of a steal. Yet between his weekly room and board, his lunches and dinners—the lodging house provided a meager breakfast—the dry-cleaning bill, and the like, he was down to his last few pesos.  \nHis father would have known what to do.
