age as a girl. She is well aware that she's different from other children and reacts to her oppressive, poverty-stricken home life, with a cowed mother and abusive, alcoholic father, by acting out - with swift consequences. Deeply intelligent, she eventually leaves for the city to attend university, slipping into prostitution to make ends meet. And in Sarmiento Park, in the heart of Córdoba, she discovers the strange, wonderful world of the trans sex workers who dwell there. Taken under the wing of Auntie Encarna, the 178-year-old eternal whose house shelters this unconventional extended family, Camila becomes a part of their stories - of a Headless Man who fled his country's wars, a mute young woman who transforms into a bird, an abandoned baby boy who brings a twinkle to your eye." -- Goodreads

into the wrong hands, his secret is at risk of being thrust into the spotlight.

Corazones oscuros
Par Matías Zitterkopf. 2017
Esta es una historia de magia tejida por amores, conjuros y traiciones del pasado que vuelven en forma de tormenta…
oscura. Ari Locket y Noah Phoenix se conocen de una manera peculiar y se vuelven cercanos. Se dejan envolver por lo que sienten para convertirse en elementos que producen una magia capaz de iluminar a los corazones más oscuros y hacerle frente a las venganzas. Es un cuento lleno de hechizos y palabras poderosas que flotan en la brisa. Es un relato de muchas voces y recuerdos que rondan todavía por el viejo roble de la colina cerca de la casona de Gloriana Mistwood. «Con tres gotas de mi sangre te ato para siempre, te corto las alas para que ya no vueles».
El caso de las japonesas muertas
Par Antonio Mercero. 2018
Un nuevo nombre se ha sumado a la gran novela negra española encabezada por Lorenzo Silva y Dolores Redondo. «Ideal…
para lectores que busquen novelas policiacas protagonizadas por detectives singulares... Un estilo claro y directo y capacidad de enganchar al lector.»Lluís Fernández, La Razón «Una protagonista original e insólita en el panorama negrocriminal en castellano, que merece una saga.»Paco Camarasa Recién reincorporada a la Brigada tras la cirugía de reasignación de sexo, Sofía Luna se ve obligada a investigar un misterioso caso. ¿Quién es este asesino que escoge a sus víctimas, todas japonesas, en el centro turístico de Madrid? Todo parece apuntar hacia el peculiar mundo de los viajes turísticos organizados y el más peculiar aún de personas asexuales, un grupo que rechaza la hipersexualidad de la vida moderna y tiene como animal favorito la estrella de mar. Luna y su equipo, al que se suma una traductora de japonés que busca algo más que colaborar, tendrán que trabajar bajo una fuerte presión mediática, sobre todo cuando desaparece la hija del embajador de Japón. A este caso, que parece irresoluble, se suma otro que golpea a la inspectora en lo más íntimo: su padre, con el que no se habla desde hace años, ha matado a un hombre, supuestamente en legítima defensa. Y la investigación empieza a revelar detalles insospechados. La crítica ha dicho sobre El final del hombre:«Un policial estupendo, bien planteado y escrito, con protagonistas y secundarios perfilados y diferenciados y un fundamento ideológico o social profundo y, por fortuna, nada maniqueo: el mundo es de las mujeres y los hombres deambulan como dinosaurios añorando los días antes del meteorito.»Carlos Zanón, El País «Su trama, que no da tregua, nos hace querer la siguiente ya.»Revista Mía «Un talento prodigioso para hilvanar historias en las que late la vida cotidiana; historias con las que el lector se identifica al instante.»Todo Literatura «La novela negra española ya tiene su heroína transexual... Mercero es un guionista enamorado de la maldad de Patricia Highsmith, que cayó en la tentación de la novela... Con una estructura clásica de "quién lo hizo", usa la novela negra para entretener, contar el drama de Sofía y su cambio de sexo, y mostrar las miserias que todos llevamos dentro.»Juan Carlos Galindo, El País
