Leopard in the sun

"In Laura Restrepo's stunning novel, a feud between two Colombian drug families escalates into a bloody, high-stakes war that will leave no one in its path untouched. The Barragáns and the Monsalves are rival clans, each steeped in wealth and power, each subject only to laws of their own making. The similarities end there. While the Barragáns, headed by the brutal Nando, remain tied to the ancient traditions, the Monsalves grapple with whether or not to follow Mani, their charismatic and conflicted leader, into a modern age in which even fewer rules apply. As both clans ponder the profits they might reap from an expanding global cocaine trade, Nando and Mani are faced with the consequences of their violent pasts--and forced, by their disillusioned women and the prices on their heads, to reckon with the possibility that nothing will be left once all their bullets have found their targets. Rife with sensual detail, this epic story of lust, betrayal, and revenge is as timeless as interfamily conflict and as immediate as today's news."--Page 4 of cover.

  • "¿Qué sucede con los miembros de una sociedad tribal, al margen del Estado, cuando caen en sus manos cantidades estrafalarias de dólares y de armas sofisticadas? ¿Qué pasa cuando sus integrantes se convierten de la noche a la mañana en amos del violento imperio del narcotráfico? ¿Quién puede parar la cadena de sangre que se desata entre ellos cuando, según las leyes ancestrales, la enemistad no se rige por la justicia sino por la venganza?"
  • "De bloedvete tussen twee Colombiaanse families bereikt een dramatisch hoogtepunt als een huurmoordenaar wordt ingeschakeld."
