ABOUT THE BOOK

​​

In Buenos Aires, a corrupt cop is assigned to investigate a murder he committed

​

Comisario Miguel Fortunato is assigned to kidnap an American businessman, and when the job goes awry the corrupt but decent Fortunato finds himself a murderer. When the Americans send their own investigator to Argentina, the young and inexperienced Athena Fowler, Fortunato is assigned to assist her. As he falsifies evidence and even finds a suitable killer to confess to the crime, Fortunato begins to unravel the mystery of who the victim was and why he had to die.

​

Buenos Aires is an intimate part of the book, replete with tango dancers, burnt-out-revolutionaries, and a pornographic website financed by the World Bank. From the cheap bars of the outer barrios to the gleaming high-rises of international corporations, crimes of the lowest and highest order come together in one of the most dangerous and beautiful cities on earth.
