Élmer Mendoza (Culiacán, México, 1949) es catedrático de literatura en la Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa, miembro correspondiente de la Academia Mexicana de la Lengua y del Colegio de Sinaloa. Pertenece al Sistema Nacional de Creadores de Arte. Comenzó su carrera literaria en 1978, y en 1999, Un asesino solitario, su primera novela, de inmediato lo situó, a juicio del crítico mexicano Federico Campbell, como «el primer narrador que recoge con acierto el efecto de la cultura del narcotráfico en nuestro país'. Con El amante de Janis Joplin obtuvo el XVII Premio Nacional de Literatura José Fuentes Mares y con Efecto Tequila (2005) fue finalista del Premio Dashiell Hammert. En 2006 apareció su cuarta novela, Cóbraselo caro , y en 2008 Balas de plata fue merecedora del III Premio Tusquets Editores de Novela, que lo consagró como escritor de primera fila en el panorama de la novela hispánica. Después de La prueba del ácido (2010) y Nombre de perro (2012), ambas protagonizadas por el detective Edgar el Zurdo Mendieta, Besar al detective continúa esta saga. Élmer Mendoza vuelve a retratar aquí una época y un país de la mano del singular detective que ha traspasado fronteras y es conocido en diez idiomas.
