La novela más comprometida de Rodrigo Rey Rosa: un poderoso thriller que es a la vez un retrato implacable de la corrupción y los entresijos del poder en Centroamérica. «Rey Rosa es un maestro consumado, el mejor de mi generación.».-Roberto Bolaño, Entre paréntesis En el paÃs de Toó, un territorio apartado dentro de una pequeña república de Centroamérica, conviven en dudosa paz desde hace casi doscientos años un sistema de organización comunal maya y las leyes del gobierno imperante. Pero la voracidad de las empresas mineras está haciendo emerger de su centenario letargo a las fuerzas mayas. Ha llegado la hora de defender los derechos de los indÃgenas y el medioambiente, una lucha en la que Polo Yrrarraga cosecha pequeños logros hasta que los enemigos que ha ido haciéndose en el camino comienzan a conspirar contra él. Entre esos dos mundos, Jacobito, hijo del poderoso Emilio Carrión, su nana y El Cobra, chofer del magnate, jugarán un papel insospechado. Una novela que destapa los entresijos de la corrupción centroamericana y las actuales luchas de poder, y que confirma la estatura literaria de un autor al que han admirado Paul Bowles y Roberto Bolaño.
