Book Description
On a dark road, Tom Harper receives the impact of a light wave that projects him 30 years back in the past, to his own 19-year-old body in '95, but with his knowledge intact from an entire life lived. Of course he is faced with the temptation to correct the mistakes of his life, of his first "round", as he calls it, but what worries him most is repeating his successes: waiting 8 years until he even meets his wife, conquer her again and have the children on the exact same dates that they had them the first time, and that they were really their children, and not others. Those responsible for the accident will contact Tom to offer him the compensation they deem appropriate for having caused this "mishap", but Tom may not be so satisfied with what they propose. With the challenge of rebuilding his life from scratch, a very clear obsession grows in him: the Vallestrans must be exposed, and paid for what they did, as the threat they really are. In his first foray after "Arioco-Lord of Chaos and Destruction" into the field of science fiction, the author makes the reservation that the reader may not expect laser beams, spaceships, or anything for that matter. style. Just a deviant group of people with very advanced technology with their own agenda and without moral qualms or legal consequences when applying it.

Lady & Boxer Investigators - Magnicide
Author: Marcel Pujol
Publisher: Plumas Uruguayas
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
Mojica dies in the pool at Las Palmas in the Termas del Arapey from a myocardial infarction. The death of the politician and former Tupamaro guerrilla leader, who was leading the polls for the upcoming presidential elections and was the head of the Popular Movement sector within the Progressive Front, raises serious doubts for the police as to whether it was a natural death, despite the ruling from the Forensic Technical Institute. Why did the lifeguard from the City Council of Salto, who should have been by the pool, claim that he had to suddenly go to the bathroom during his shift? Why did he state in his testimony that he had been locked in a bathroom for half an hour, a bathroom that didn't even have a lock on the outside? Why would a presidential candidate, who had been given only a 2% chance of having a heart attack in his most recent medical check-up, suffer a heart attack? Too many questions for the government of Dr. Valdez, from Mojica's own party, to let this slip by. The investigation must be carried out with utmost discretion, but the truth must be uncovered. To achieve that, the investigative duo Goldman and Ielicov, who solved Uruguay's only serial killer case four years earlier, are hired. Many people would have benefited from Mojica's death before he could reach the presidency, but did anyone dare to expedite the process? In his second historical noir novel, the author reveals 40 years of a country with a great democratic tradition that, however, suffered a dictatorship (or re-institutionalization, depending on who you ask) that lasted 12 long years. But it wasn't just the state that harmed the people. People also hurt each other.
