Tres veces luz by Juan Mattio ES
Country: South America / Argentina
Argentina
Description:
La historia terrible que apuesta a contar Mattio arranca clásicamente con una muerte en uno de los 20 puertos de la provincia de Santa Fe, lo que da pie a la intervención de una tan brillante como amargada fiscal investigadora, impecablemente dibujada. Lejos de apostar al misterio y a la solución de una intriga, la novela juega a la simultaneidad, construyendo contexto al tiempo que se avanza el esclarecimiento. No hay sorpresa sino impacto constante en esa reconstrucción del trayecto infernal de unos polizones en la bodega del buque de carga Propp, que une Costa de... continue
