A tightly plotted mystery novel set in contemporary Argentina and recently made into a film (“Betibu”, directed by Miguel Cohan) acclaimed at the 2014 London Film Festival.
The author has won the Clarin Prize and is South America’s bestselling crime novelist (selling over 250,000 copies per title). She is translated in French, Italian and German.
A novelist and ex-journalist investigates a series of deaths with the help of the newspaper’s recently demoted crime columnist. But this more than just a page turner written in the style of Patricia Highsmith. It is an exposé of newsroom politics, the hypocrisy and criminal ruthlessness of the Argentine establishment and most importantly the story of an intelligent and sensitive woman trying to save her career and love life.
The fourth novel by Claudia Piñeiro published by Bitter Lemon Press, to follow on the success of Thursday Night Widows, which was made into a film by Argentine New Wave director Marcelo Piñeyro, the critically acclaimed All Yours, and A Crack in the Wall published in 2013.
