Una novela criminal, escrita por Jorge Volpi, es una obra que narra un caso real que conmocionó a México y generó un incidente diplomático entre Francia y México. El 8 de diciembre de 2005, la policía federal detiene a Israel Vallarta y a Florence Cassez, acusándolos de secuestro. La historia, desentrañada con maestría e iluminada con una ingente tarea de documentación, revela los entresijos del poder y la corrupción. El autor coloca al lector frente a la realidad, sin intermediarios, mostrando la perplejidad de lo real. Esta novela fue galardonada con el XXI Premio Alfaguara de novela y adaptada a serie documental para la plataforma Netflix.
Jorge Volpi is a Mexican novelist and essayist, best known for his novels such as In Search of Klingsor . Trained as a lawyer, he gained notice in the 1990s with his first publications and participation in the pronouncement of the "Crack Manifesto" with several other young writers to protest the state of Mexican literature and promote their own work. Volpi's novels are distinct from magical realism and other trends of Latin American literature as they focus on the actions of characters and research into academic topics, especially history and science, and do not always focus on Latin American characters and settings. His work has been translated into twenty five languages and recognized with awards such as Biblioteca Breva Award and the Debate-Casa de América as well as a grant from the Guggenheim Foundation. In addition to his writing he has worked as a cultural attaché, the director of Canal 22 in the State of Mexico and is currently the director of the Festival Internacional Cervantino.
