«Hermana muerte» is the debut novel of Justo Navarro, published by Plaza & Janés in 1990, in paperback (126 pages, in Spanish).
A teenager and his sister discover the world under the shadow of their dead father. His coming-of-age story turns into a destructive obsession: the narrator, a young man with a cold gaze, examines with relentless precision a family sphere doomed to its own ruin.

Readers of contemporary fiction in Spanish who value coming-of-age novels with an unsettling atmosphere and a narrator with a relentless gaze.
