- A bold, provocative literary experiment. It will blow your mind!
All of Mexico watched her arrest live on television. But no one knows the truth.
A sports journalist, used to stories that end the moment the referee blows the whistle, stumbles one morning onto a headline that has nothing to do with soccer: a single woman has just frozen relations between two countries. Her name is Florence Cassez, and her case - the arrest, the trial, the diplomatic standoff between Mexico and France - dominated headlines for years without anyone ever answering the one question that mattered: who is she, really?
He can't let it go either. And what he finds in his search forces him - and will force you - to read the same story twice. To doubt everything you thought you knew. To discover that innocence and guilt aren't always opposites: sometimes they're just a matter of who's telling the story.
With an ironic, deeply human voice that illuminates without judging, The Two Faces of Florence Cassez takes one of the most controversial legal cases in Mexico's recent history and turns it into a literary experience as addictive as it is unsettling. It's not an investigation. It's not a verdict. It's a novel that puts you in the most uncomfortable seat in the room: the judge's chair.
The final word - as the author warns from the very first page - belongs to the reader.
Bonus: Includes a comprehensive timeline of the real events, from the AFI's staged arrest to Israel Vallarta's release in 2025.
