«Abril rojo» is the crime novel by Santiago Roncagliolo, published by Alfaguara in paperback (344 pages, in Spanish).
Deputy prosecutor Félix Chacaltana Saldívar, a meticulous bureaucrat bound by regulations, investigates a series of crimes in Ayacucho during Holy Week. The case drags him through a Peru marked by political violence and ancestral traditions, where horror knows no civil codes. The plot blends police investigation, suspense and a raw look at the country's recent history.
Winner of the Alfaguara Novel Prize 2006 and the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize. First installment of the series starring Félix Chacaltana, though the work stands on its own.
For readers of crime thrillers with a political and historical backdrop seeking a noir novel set in contemporary Peru.
