Holy City
One former Miss Bolivia. Two missing Colombian drug dealers. Three wealthy tourists taken hostage. Welcome to the Holy City, where corruption is a calling and bent cops are ten a peso.
A passenger liner runs aground on the muddy banks of the Rio de la Plata. One by one, its passengers are abducted by Buenos Aires’ criminal classes. As the kidnapping of three foreign businessmen sends stock markets into freefall, the job of solving the chaos falls onto the weary shoulders of the last honest man in town – Deputy Inspector Walter Carroza of the serious-crime squad. But top of his agenda is former Miss Bolivia Ana Torrente, “a cherub with tropical lips and tits”. Why is it that the bodies of the men who try to take her to bed are always found minus a head?
No-one Loves a Policeman
It is December 2001, and Argentina is in economic meltdown. While the country wallows in corruption, cynicism and indifference, Gotan, an ex-cop from the Federal Police, lives in the past. He cannot forget the beguiling woman who briefly set alight his life – she disappeared as soon as he revealed he had worked for the ‘National Shame’. Gotan is called urgently late one night to a friend’s coastal retreat. He arrives too late: his friend is dead and his girlfriend has vanished. Using all his resources to find the girl, Gotan finds himself embroiled in a plot that goes to the heart of Argentina itself. Though no longer part of the force, Gotan is still a cop by nature. But his is a dangerous undertaking: after all, no-one loves a policeman.
