Others' Deaths, Claudia Piñeiro

Verónica Balda is a journalist and hosts one of the most listened-to morning radio shows. One day, she receives news that will completely change the course of her life: a young woman fell from a fifth floor in the Recoleta neighborhood of Buenos Aires. The apartment belongs to a renowned agricultural businessman, and the woman's death is much more than alarming news. Verónica knows who she is; a dense and secret history connects them. As the novel unfolds, the reader will learn different versions of the events, revealing how a narrative can be multifaceted and subjective, full of artifice and assumptions.

A master in building unsettling atmospheres and handling narrative tension, Claudia Piñeiro boldly tackles a chillingly current topic, and, through the always fascinating possibility of fiction, exposes one of the darkest, most intimate, and oldest connections: that of VIP prostitution with those in power.
