Goodfellas meets White Fang. By the BAFTA-winning screenwriter of Amores Perros. "An epic tale" Sunday Times Crime Club "A fast-moving, intriguing and virile novel" Irish Examiner "Of all the wolves you will see in your life, one alone will be your master." Yukon, Canada's far north. A young man tracks a wolf through the wilderness. The one his grandfather warned him about. In Mexico City, Juan Guillermo has pledged vengeance. For his murdered brother, Carlos. For his parents, sentenced to death by their grief. But in 1960s Mexico justice is sold to the highest bidder, and the Catholic fanatics who killed Carlos are allied to Zunita, a corrupt and influential police commander. If he is to quench his thirst for revenge Juan Guillermo will have to answer his inner call of the wild and discover what links his destiny to a hunter on the other side of America. A gripping coming of age thriller of vengeance and destiny set between Mexico City's murderous 1960s underworld and the bleak tundras of Canada's most remote province. Translated from the Spanish by Frank Wynne and Jessie Mendez Sayer

From the award-winning, internationally acclaimed screenwriter of "Amores perros," "21 Grams," and "Babel," "A Sweet Scent of Death" is Guillermo Arriaga's tale of deception, passion, and violence fused together by the tragic killing of a young girl in a small Mexican village.

Early one morning in a deserted field, Ramon Castanos is confronted with the dead body of Adela, a lovely young girl, whom he had only admired from afar. Within an hour, rumor of the death of Ramon Castanos's girlfriend has spread to every corner of Loma Grande. This powder-trail of gossip ignites further violence when the villagers, thirsty for revenge, cast about for answers and hit upon the nomadic Jose Echeverri-Berriozabal, known as "the Gypsy." Honor then demands that Ramon must now live out his imaginary past in a brutal reality and prove his manhood by avenging Adela's cruel fate.

Guillermo Arriaga is the author of "The Night Buffalo" and "The Guillotine Squad." He has worked in television, radio, and film. Arriaga is the award-winning screenwriter of "Amores perros," "21 Grams," "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada," and "Babel."

R406 Discovery Miles 4 060 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Tras el suicidio de su mejor amigo, Manuel se ve acosado por la sombra de la enfermedad mental de aquel, por su mundo de violencia y por la tortuosa relacion sentimental con su novia, que fue inicialmente pareja de Gregorio, el amigo muerto; citas no cumplidas, extranos mensajes y la sombra de un policIa que aparece como vengador de una infidelidad que lo llevo a la locura.

Escrita con la agilidad de un guion cinematografico y con un fondo de personajes urbanos que se mueven en los margenes de la delincuencia, esta novela confirma a su autor como uno de los mejores escritores mexicanos de las Ultimas generaciones. Con tono existencial que da cuenta de los aspectos mas crudos de la sociedad de nuestro tiempo, esta obra de suspenso trae personajes bien construidos, atractivos y que se ven inmersos en una atmosfera cercana tanto a la novela macabra como a la prosa de Franz Kafka.
