Winner of the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award Winner of
the Alfaguara Prize Winner of the Gregor von Rezzori Prize 'A
powerful, humane novel about a man trying to make sense of a war he
didn't choose to fight' The Times 'The story is compelling but
through Vasquez's vivid prose (rendered brilliantly into English by
the award-winning translator Anne McLean) it also becomes haunting
... A poignant and perturbing tale about the inheritance of fear in
a country scrabbling to regain its soul' Financial Times No sooner
does he get to know Ricardo Laverde in a seedy billiard hall in
Bogota than Antonio Yammara realises that the ex-pilot has a
secret. Antonio's fascination with his new friend's life grows
until the day Ricardo receives a mysterious, unmarked cassette.
Shortly afterwards, he is shot dead on a street corner. Yammara's
investigation into what happened leads back to the early 1960s,
marijuana smuggling and a time before the cocaine trade trapped
Colombia in a living nightmare.
