ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An exciting thriller portraying the various faces of evil.
Gamboa’s narrative is reminiscent of Roberto Bolano’s in his masterful use of intrigue, the complexity of his literary references, and his gritty take on violence, sex, and drugs. -Publisher’s Weekly
In an unexpected find, human bones are discovered in La Calera ridge, east of Bogota. Prosecutor Edilson Jutsinamuy, joined by Agent Laiseca and the rest of his team, will be tasked with finding the owner. Julieta Lezama, his journalist friend, will come on board the investigation to unravel a chain of atrocious crimes that occur as in relay and will lead her to encounter writer Santiago Gamboa and his work, where she will find a clue to understand the mystery of such an unsettling discovery.
The astute and intuitive Prosecutor Jutsinamuy and the intrepid but troubled Lezama return in a dizzying story full of twists and turns, possessions, mediums, and a gallery of characters, most notably a professor and indigenist guru who practices polyamory, and an enigmatic Argentinian mercenary dreaming of a Latin American revolution. This is a fascinating mirror plot set between reality and fiction, but also among the author’s own fictions, putting his own life on the line in this disturbing x-ray of Colombian actuality.
