Ernesto Mallo
ARGENTINA, 1948
He started out as a playwright and script writer, beginning his career as a novelist in 2004. His first novel La aguja en el pajar (Needle in a Haystack, 2006) was a finalist for the Clarín-Alfaguara Novel Prize, in 2004, and received the Silverio Cañada Memorial Prize, given during the Noir Week festival held in Gijón. Belonging to the detective genre, Mallo’s novels, while works of fiction, are always grounded in precise historical moments
"A vivid and compelling picture of a society riven by corruption, social breakdown,
and casual brutality. A pacy, intense, and thought-provoking read."
THE GUARDIAN
"Martin Cruz Smith and Philip Kerr fans will be rewarded."
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"A gritty, painful portrait of a dystopian culture spinning further and further
out of control. A compelling, blood-stained document of tyranny
and brutality told with skill and passion."
