Produktbeschreibung
After retiring from the FBI, where he was a secretary of J. Edgar Hoover, Detective Mckenzie is summoned by the famous collector Forrest Ackerman to find Londres después de medianoche, one of the most sought-after films in the history of cinema. Although the last copy disappeared in the twenties, the legend states that misfortune was brought upon the actors that were vampires in the film. It says that theaters that try to find it mysteriously catch fire, and those who seek the last copy mysteriously disappear themselves. The detective meets survivors of two worlds: one that threw the film away, and the other that seeks their own piece of history at any cost. Luego de jubilarse del FBI, donde fue secretario de J. Edgar Hoover, el detective Mc Kenzie es convocado por el famoso coleccionista Forrest Ackerman para encontrar Londres después de medianoche, una de las películas más buscadas en la historia del cine. Aunque la última copia desapareció en los años veinte, la leyenda asegura que trajo la desgracia a sus actores pues en ella actuaban vampiros reales, que los cines que la exhibieron se incendiaron, y que aquellos que la buscan desaparecen. Mientras salta del corazón de Hollywood a algunas de las ciudades más conflictivas de México, el detective se topa con los sobrevivientes de dos mundos: uno que lanzaba los desechos del cine a la basura, y otro que busca poseer un pedazo de historia a cualquier precio.
