Description

The Yankees are more astute when it comes to matters like these. They say "not guilty". They don't say "innocent". Because as far as innocence goes, no one can make that claim. A train crashes in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, leaving forty-three people dead. A prayer card of Saint Expeditus, the patron saint of urgent matters, flutters above the wreckage. Hugo, a criminal on the run for murder, is on the train. He seizes his chance to sneak out of the wreckage unsuspected, abandoning his possessions - and, he hopes, his identity - among bodies mangled beyond recognition. As the police descend on the scene, only grizzled Detective Domínguez sees a link between the crash and his murder case. Soon, he's on Hugo's tail. But he hasn't banked on everything from the media to his mother-in-law getting in the way.

Media Reviews

'With frenetic pace and a hypnotic, disturbing plot, Urgent Matters is an exploration of how facts are constructed and which of them prevail to become realities. In the post-truth era, it is an essential read' - Agustina Bazterrica, author of Tender is the Flesh

'It has all the ingredients of the police procedurals that totally grip you. It's fast-paced, has action, suspense and great characters' - Claudia Pineiro, International Booker-shortlisted author of Elena Knows

'It's a flight forwards, an engine that advances to the very heart of fiction, and it sweeps everything away' - K Ferrari, author of Like Flies From Afar

'One of the pleasant surprises of recent months. [...] Very well structured in a short, very enjoyable read' - El Pais

'With a frenetic pace and a distinctive mix of bitterness and lucidity, this noir novel by Paula Rodriguez is part of the rich Argentine tradition of quality fiction written with the urgency of journalism' - Risbel
