ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
THE LATEST INCENDIARY NOVEL BY THE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF THEY LOOK LIKE FLIES FROM AFAR: a cult phenomenon whose film adaptation received a Special Mention at the 56th Sitges Festival.
“Argentina’s literary revelation.” —The Wall Street Journal
“One of the most important voices in Argentinian crime fiction today.” —Claudia Piñeiro
Fer is a writer with a terrible artist’s block and keen on extreme sex. Luz is his former lover and the daughter of Mr. Machi, the famous protagonist of They Look Like Flies from Afar. They both meet again by chance at a BDSM club, and Luz suggests that Fer should write about the cause of her father’s death. Luis Machi was a well-known impresario and shady businessman who mysteriously went missing from his estate a decade ago. And so it begins, the reconstruction of that evening and the months that followed, of the dubious investigation and the reasons that led to declaring Don Luis dead, though they never found his body.
The latest and highly-anticipated novel by Kike Ferrari revolves around corruption, mafia, and power, and ruthlessly portrays a country in decline.
