Abril rojo is a chilling police story set in one of the bloodiest periods in the recent history of Peru. Félix Chacaltana Saldívar, a bureaucrat with an uneventful life as a prosecutor in Lima, is sent to his native Ayacucho to investigate a strange murder amid the Holy Week celebrations. Faced with the indifference of his superiors, his investigations lead him along dark paths where he discovers how far a man and society can go when death becomes the only certainty. In this shocking thriller, Santiago Roncagliolo explores the last years of a bloody and terrifying period in the history of Peru, where the terrorist ideology of Sendero Luminoso and a government marked by hunger and corruption faced each other in a terrible war, with bribery, intrigue, torture, murders and disappearances as the daily bread. Abril rojo is a fascinating and profound work that delves into the open wounds of a divided society, where death and pain coexist with the dream of a fairer future.
