Del libro rojo ofrece una ventana fascinante a la vida urbana y política del México colonial a finales del siglo XVIII. A través de documentos oficiales, crónicas y relatos contemporáneos, el lector descubre cómo funcionaban las instituciones, desde la administración del virrey hasta los reglamentos municipales que aún influyen en la ciudad actual. El tono preciso y a la vez cercano hace que los detalles de la época cobren vida, revelando costumbres, discursos y la rigidez de la justicia de la época.
El núcleo del segundo tomo se centra en el espeluznante caso de la familia Dongo, una tragedia que sacudió a la capital en 1789. La cruda descripción del crimen, la rápida intervención del virrey Revillagigedo y el proceso de investigación ofrecen una visión íntima de la respuesta del poder ante la violencia. Al seguir los pasos de los testigos, los arrestos y los juicios, el libro muestra cómo se construían las narrativas de orden y castigo en una sociedad en plena transformación.
