UN THRILLER TREPIDANTE QUE RETRATA LAS DIVERSAS CARAS DE LA MALDAD «La escritura de Gamboa recuerda a Roberto Bolaño en su magistral manejo de la intriga, la complejidad de sus referencias literarias y su descarnada visión de la violencia, el sexo y las drogas . --Publishers Weekly «Lo que mejor define a esta república violenta y desamparada es la orfandad. Y lo que cada uno es, allá en el subsuelo, es lo que todos quieren esconder . En un hallazgo inesperado, unos huesos humanos son descubiertos en las montañas de La Calera, al oriente de Bogotá. El fiscal Edilson Jutsiñamuy tendrá la misión de encontrar a su propietario, de la mano del agente Laiseca y el resto de su equipo. Julieta Lezama, su amiga periodista, se sumará a la investigación para ir desentrañando una cadena de crÃmenes atroces que la llevarán a conocer al escritor Santiago Gamboa y su obra, en la que dará con una clave fundamental para entender el misterio. Jutsiñamuy y Lezama regresan en Colombian Psycho con una historia vertiginosa y una fascinante trama de espejos entre la realidad y la ficción, pero también entre las propias representaciones del autor, quien se juega la vida en esta perturbadora radiografÃa de la situación nacional colombiana. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An exciting thriller portraying the various faces of evil. Gamboa's narrative is reminiscent of Roberto Bolaño's in his masterful use of intrigue, the complexity of his literary references, and his gritty take on violence, sex, and drugs. --Publisher's Weekly
In an unexpected find, human bones are discovered in La Calera ridge, east of Bogota. Prosecutor Edilson Jutsiñamuy, joined by Agent Laiseca and the rest of his team, will be tasked with finding the owner. Julieta Lezama, his journalist friend, will come on board the investigation to unravel a chain of atrocious crimes that occur as in relay and will lead her to encounter writer Santiago Gamboa and his work, where she will find a clue to understand the mystery of such an unsettling discovery. The astute and intuitive Prosecutor Jutsiñamuy and the intrepid but troubled Lezama return in a dizzying story full of twists and turns, possessions, mediums, and a gallery of characters, most notably a professor and indigenist guru who practices polyamory, and an enigmatic Argentinian mercenary dreaming of a Latin American revolution. This is a fascinating mirror plot set between reality and fiction, but also among the author's own fictions, putting his own life on the line in this disturbing x-ray of Colombian actuality.
