Jaime Brena, a veteran crime reporter in Buenos Aires, is sidelined at his newspaper when a wealthy man is found dead. Together with Nurit Iscar, a successful crime novelist, and a young colleague, he investigates the case, which touches on gated communities and corporate secrets. Claudia Piñeiro uses the investigation to comment on media and class in Argentina.
Suitable for readers of Latin American crime fiction who like a mystery with social critique. It is a good starting point for Piñeiro's work.
Growth-minded and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Curious Generalist. Which reader are you?
