'Sharp, savage and tense' Sunday Times Crime Club
SHORTLISTED FOR THE CWA CRIME FICTION IN TRANSLATION DAGGER
Luis Machi has had enemies for a long time thanks to his corrupt business dealings and cooperation with the military junta's coup, not to mention the numerous infidelities of his love life. What is new, however, is the corpse chained to the boot of Machi's car with furry pink handcuffs . . .
Someone is trying to set him up and the number of suspects is incalculable. Machi is stuck dredging his guilty past for clues and trying to dispose of the mystery corpse. But time is just another enemy and it's running out fast.
