Overview

Una apasionante novela sobre la generación de hijos de los grandes narcotraficantes colombianos de los años noventa y un fiel retrato de la Medellín de hoy.
 
Harry regresa al país doce años después de la desaparición de su padre, un mafioso muy cercano a Pablo Escobar en los años noventa. Sus restos han sido finalmente hallados en una fosa común y Harry vuelve para recuperarlos y darles sepultura.
A su a llegada Medellín lo espera Pedro, su gran amigo de infancia, que se lo llevará directamente desde el aeropuerto a la celebración de la Alborada, una fiesta popular en la que la ciudad pierde el control mientras estalla pólvora durante toda una noche.

El encuentro de Harry con su madre, una antigua reina de belleza que pasó de tenerlo todo a no tener nada, y que ahora se halla sumida en la depresión y la drogadicción; los recuerdos de un pasado familiar turbulento y el redescubrimiento de una ciudad en la que aún se perciben los rezagos de la época más oscura de la historia de Colombia, son algunos de los hilos que conectan esta novela en la que el autor –con la maestría narrativa que lo caracteriza- consigue retratar a una generación de hijos del narcotráfico, que terminaron por ser víctimas de sus propios padres."

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A thrilling novel about the generation of children of the major Colombian drug lords of the ‘90s, and a true portrait of Medellín today.
 
Harry returns to the country twelve years after the disappearance of his father, a mobster who was close to Pablo Escobar in the 1990s. His remains have finally been found in a mass grave, and Harry is returning to reclaim them and give them a proper funeral. He is picked up at the airport by Pedro, his childhood friend, who takes him directly to the Alborada celebration, a popular festival at which the whole city loses control while fireworks burn all night.
 
Harry’s encounter with his mother, a former beauty queen who went from having it all to having nothing, and who is now sinking in depression and drug addiction; the memories of a turbulent family history; and the rediscovery of a city in which you can still see remnants of Colombia’s darkest times are some of the threads interwoven in this novel.

The author, with the narrative skill he is known for, manages to portray a generation of drug lords’ children, who end up being victims of their own parents.
