Krátky popis
'An accomplished, inventive detective novel thrumming with tension
and family secrets' Sanae Lemoine, author of The Margot Affair'An
astonishingly assured first novel, both funny and moving'The Times
Crime Club'Very impressive... Repentance is an evocative crime
thriller with a likeable, self-aware protagonist, but also
skilfully explores the darkest period in Argentina's modern
history'Financial Times'A powerful crime novel ... Opening old
historical wounds that still strongly affect Argentinian society,
this is a tale with many layers, many of them painful to evoke and
a strong depiction of a country and a period that still simmers
between the pages of history books and the crime novel is a perfect
way of lancing the boil.Recommended'Maxim Jakubowski, Crime Time
BUENOS AIRES, 1981. Argentina is in the grip of a brutal military
dictatorship. Inspector Joaquin Alzada's work in the Buenos Aires
police force exposes him to the many realities of life under a
repressive regime: desperate people, terrified people and - worst
of all - missing people.Personally, he prefers to stay out of
politics, enjoying a simple life with his wife Paula. But when his
revolutionary brother Jorge is disappeared, Alzada will stop at
nothing to rescue him. TWENTY YEARS LATER...The country is in the
midst of yet another devastating economic crisis and riots are
building in the streets of Buenos Aires. This time Alzada is
determined to keep his head down and wait patiently for his
retirement. But when a dead body lands in a skip behind the morgue
and a woman from one of the city's wealthiest families goes
missing, Alzada is forced to confront his own involvement in one of
the darkest periods in Argentinian history - a time ofcollective
horror and personal tragedy.Alternating between two key moments in
the life of a man and his country, Repentance is a noir with a
difference, featuring an unforgettable character on a quest to
solve a case that offers both a painful reminder of all he has lost
and a last chance at redemption.
