About this ebook

The fourth in Olguin’s Buenos Aires thriller series starring the gutsy, earthy yet vulnerable investigative reporter Veronica Rosenthal. A former director of the magazine where she works and his ex-partner have been executed in cold blood. The authorities are trying to pass the murders off as a burglary gone wrong. Veronica has her doubts.The magazine’s investigation of a high-level corruption scandal seems more likely to have triggered the violence. A scandal involving influential Argentine businessmen involved with an Israeli linked to atrocities committed in Gaza in 2014. This is a dazzling thriller but also a story about the possibilities of love, in which jealousy, eroticism, and humor make an appearance.
