ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Argentina's literary revelation according to The Wall Street Journal. It is an explosive and dark novel that garnered a cult following for a text as gifted as it is unexpected.

Mr. Machi was the perfect example of success and arrogance. Owner of a small fortune in Argentina, which he first made under the military dictatorship, and later during the first democratic governments by marrying the daughter of a well-to-do landowner. This fact however, did not prevent him from sneaking around with beautiful women who obeyed his every wish. He had a BMW, a large collection of fine clothes, and ten million dollars in the bank. Cocaine and the "little blue pill" allowed him to ignore his wife's complaints about his infidelities and his children's impulses; but above all, they allowed him to ignore his many enemies which he considered insects who "from afar look like flies͟. Until one day, he finds a dead body in the trunk of his BMW, tied up with the pink fluffy handcuffs that he used with his lovers. And so, a different story begins.With this explosive and original novel, Kike Ferrari caught the international press' attention and captivated the best publishers in the world.
