Rodrigo Rey Rosa draws us into a universe that transcends the borders of Guatemala because, in the words of the author, "the whole world is a violent place." In these four crime novels written between 1995 and 2006, Que me maten si, El cojo bueno, Piedras encantadas y Caballeriza, he also shows his masterful use of suspense. The killing of indigenous people in the mountains and the trafficking of children, the memory of a kidnapping, the hit-and-run of a child, and the burning of a stable during an equestrian festival are all just the starting points for these four stories: a "narrative tetralogy" that mark a milestone in contemporary Latin American literature.
