2666, Part 4 by Roberto Bolaño
In a fictional Mexican border city, a relentless sequence of brutal murders of young women unfolds across decades, traced in grim detail as the lives of victims, the routines of factories and border commerce, and the failings of local institutions are laid bare; investigators pursue leads that dissolve into corruption, incompetence and bureaucratic indifference, while portraits of the dead and the living — family members, coworkers, sex workers, police and journalists — accumulate into an anguished catalogue of violence and neglect that exposes broader social, economic and moral fractures and leaves the crime's ultimate meaning and perpetrator disturbingly unresolved.
