Este es el unico libro de cuentos que escribio como tal Jorge Ibargüengoitia aunque mas bien se trata de una serie de ficciones sobre un fondo autobiografico. Como en el resto de su obra narrativa, en La ley de Herodes el autor exige al lector su total complicidad, y como justo premio le otorga el inigualable regocijo de experimentar con el protagonista un merecido desquite o una maliciosa venganza, sin piedad, sin misericordia y eso si, con excesivo sarcasmo.
