This gripping detective thriller set in a fascinating but corrupt country has all the drama, passion and tenderness of the Argentinian tango.
It is December 2001, and Argentina is in economic meltdown. While the country wallows in corruption, cynicism and indifference, Gotan, an ex-cop from the Federal Police, lives in the past. He cannot forget the beguiling woman who briefly set alight his life--she disappeared as soon as he revealed he had worked for the "National Shame."
Gotan is called urgently late one night to a friend's coastal retreat. He arrives too late: his friend is dead and his girlfriend has vanished. Using all his resources to find the girl, Gotan finds himself embroiled in a plot that goes to the heart of Argentina itself. Though no longer part of the force, Gotan is still a cop by nature. But his is a dangerous undertaking: after all, no one loves a policeman.
Guillermo Orsi was born in Buenos Aires, where he still lives and works as a journalist. His novel Sueños de perro won the Semana Negra Umbriel Award in 2004.
