Industry Reviews
A powerful crime novel ... Opening old historical wounds that still strongly affect Argentinian society, this is a tale with many layers, many of them painful to evoke and a strong depiction of a country and a period that still simmers between the pages of history books and the crime novel is a perfect way of lancing the boil. Recommended. - CRIME TIMEThis impressive, multi-layered debut is both an evocative crime thriller and a journey back to the darkest era in Argentina's modern history - Financial Times Summer Pick
