Produktinformationen zu „Urgent Matters (ePub)“

'A breathless police procedural... a notable addition to South American noir' The Times and Sunday Times Crime Club pick of the week

'An essential read' Agustina Bazterrica, author of Tender is the Flesh

'Fast paced, has action, suspense and great characters' Claudia Piñeiro, International-Booker shortlisted author of Elena Knows

A train crashes in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, leaving forty-three people dead. A prayer card of Saint Expeditus, the patron saint of urgent matters, flutters above the wreckage.

Hugo, a criminal on the run for murder, is on the train. He seizes his chance to sneak out of the wreckage unsuspected, abandoning his possessions - and, he hopes, his identity - among bodies mangled beyond all recognition.

As the police descend on the scene, only grizzled Detective Domínguez sees a link between the crash and his murder case. Soon, he's on Hugo's tail. But he hasn't banked on everything from the media to Hugo's mother-in-law getting in the way.

Readers love Urgent Matters!

'If this novel by Paula Rodriguez is anything to go by Argentinian noir may be the next big thing'

'It is a perfect slice of Argentine Noir with a current of dark humour running through it and I would highly recommend picking this up if you are looking for a sharp, energetic and compelling read'

'The stand out element of the story was the fabulous character development. All the key players feel like they are pushing their way out of the book into my world'
