Cub reporter Jonny Murphy is in Buenos Aires interviewing families of victims of Argentina's Dirty War, when a headless torso has washed up on a city beach, thrusting him into a shocking investigation…
Argentina. 1998. Human remains are found on a beach on the outskirts of Buenos Aires – a gruesome echo of when the tide brought home dozens of mutilated bodies thrown from planes during Argentina's Dirty War. Flights of death, with passengers known as the Disappeared.
International Tribune reporter Jonny Murphy is in Buenos Aires interviewing families of the missing, desperate to keep their memory alive, when the corpse turns up. His investigations with his companion, freelance photographer Paloma Glenn, have barely started when Argentina's simmering financial crisis explodes around them.
As the fabric of society starts to disintegrate and Argentine cities burn around them, Jonny and Paloma are suddenly thrust centre stage, fighting to secure both their jobs and their livelihoods.
But Jonny is also fighting something else, an echo from his own past that he'll never shake, and as it catches up with him and Paloma, he must make choices that will endanger everything he knows…
I really enjoyed this book - what an intriguing storyline!! Whilst it is book two with Jonny Murphy I have not read book one but I don't feel that the mattered or had any negative effect on this storyline. I really liked our main character Jonny, although he seems like he lacks some confidence, I liked the fact that we got to hear a little about his personal life. However, what we heard was very unexpected and explains that lack of confidence.
The relationship that he has with Paloma is not the one that he would like, again I think that comes back to his confidence as some of the scenes with just the two of them made me laugh a little as he was a bit bumbling! But the working relationship between them is good, isn't it?!
The storyline itself was really well constructed and I did not see where we were going with some parts of it - at all!! It really had me surprised with those twists! I thought it was really well written and the book was so much more than I was expecting from reading the blurb! You can grab a copy here #Aff
