Imitación de Guatemala: cuatro novelas breves
Suspense and thrillers, Mysteries and crime stories
Human-narrated audio
Summary
"Rodrigo Rey Rosa takes us into a universe that today transcends the borders of Guatemala, because, in the author's words, "the whole world is a violent place." In these four detective novels written between 1995 and 2006, |Kill Me If...|,… |The Good Cripple|, |Enchanted Stones|, and |Stable|, he also demonstrates his masterful handling of suspense. The massacres of indigenous people in the mountains and the trafficking of children, the memory of a kidnapping, the running over of a child by a hit-and-run driver, and the burning of a stable during an equestrian festival are just the starting point of these four stories, a "narrative tetralogy" that marks a milestone in contemporary Latin American literature." -- Translation provided by NLS
