La Virgen de los Sicarios (Spanish Edition)
En MedellÃn, una de las ciudades más violentas de la tierra, un Ãngel Exterminador recorre las calles "limpiándolas" de una buena parte de sus habitantes, y librando, de paso, al narrador de lo que parece molestarlo más: el prójimo. Alexis, el ángel, es un chiquillo de las barriadas, un "sicario" o asesino a sueldo, sin padre y sin ley. PoseÃdo por el misticismo de la destrucción, su vida avanza sobre charcos de sangre. Y en tanto las iglesias, mudos testimonios de una religiosidad antigua, se vacÃan de fieles, la morgue se llena de cadáveres. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION It is stranger than fiction and worst than a horror movie. Set in MedellÃn, La Virgen de los Sicarios is a shout of protest against the violence destroying Colombia. The protagonist, Fernando, has a lover who is killed, and Fernando unwittingly takes up with the youngster who did the killing. The killings typical of the real MedellÃn are taken to the absurd in a dark, sharp book that blames the church and the political elite for Colombia’s tragedy.
