Overview
La paz de México es ficticia, aparente, una alfombra bajo la cual se esconde la basura del narco y la corrupción, y donde el asesinato de periodistas es sólo una consecuencia lógica, un efecto secundario de la denuncia contra un sistema podrido desde la raíz.
Y a pesar del riesgo, la reportera Daniela Real decide enfrentar, sola, a ese sistema. Sus investigaciones la han convertido en una periodista incómoda y, por lo tanto, en el siguiente blanco de esa maquinaria indolente ante la injusticia, pero eficiente al encubrir a los suyos. Su único aliado es Fausto Letona, un expolicía desahuciado que se convierte en sombra de su sombra para intentar protegerla del monstruo que la acecha.
«Por horas, por minutos, va creciendo esta novela que empieza de madrugada y termina en la noche del mismo día. Veinte horas como un cable de alta tensión entre el autor y sus personajes. El ritmo de la prosa de Palou es el de un thriller y la indignación es el motor de una trama que jamás desmaya. Una novela necesaria en este México que se cae a pedazos.» Elena Poniatowska
ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA brave, honest journalist… and uncomfortable for the system.The peace in Mexico is fictitious, apparent, a rug under which the trash of narco and corruption is hidden, and where the murder of journalists is only a logical consequence, a side effect of denouncing a system rotten to the core.
And despite the risk, reporter Daniela Real decides to face this system alone. Her investigations have made her an uncomfortable journalist and, therefore, the next target of that machinery indifferent to injustice but efficient at covering up for its own. Her only ally is Fausto Letona, a terminally ill ex-cop who becomes her shadow’s shadow to try to protect her from the monster that stalks her.
“Hour by hour, minute by minute, this novel grows, starting at dawn and ending at night on the same day. Twenty hours like a high-tension wire between the author and his characters. The rhythm of Palou’s prose is that of a thriller, and indignation is the engine of a plot that never falters. A necessary novel in this Mexico that is falling apart.” Elena Poniatowska
