In Peru in the 1990s, two friends experience an unexpected erotic encounter and the plot turns into a crime story about tabloid journalism.

For readers of political thrillers and contemporary Latin American fiction, with an interest in recent Peru and the social role of journalism.
Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa, 1st Marquess of Vargas Llosa was a Peruvian novelist, journalist, essayist, and politician. Vargas Llosa was one of the most significant Latin American novelists and essayists and one of the leading writers of his generation. Some critics consider him to have had a more substantial international impact and worldwide audience than any other writer of the Latin American Boom. In 2010, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature for "his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat".
