Book description
Dionisio Vivo, a South American lecturer in philosophy, is puzzled by
the hideously mutilated corpses that keep turning up outside his front
door. To his friend, Ramon, one of the few honest policemen in town, the
message is all too clear: Dionisio's letters to the press, exposing the
drug barons, must stop; and although Dionisio manages to escape the
hit-men sent to get him, he soon realises that others are more
vulnerable, and his love for them leads him to take a colossal revenge.
