Literatura Random House: La segunda amante del rey

More about the book

Finding love in a city of certain kinds and customs can be a cruel exercise. In his usual erotic gymnastics, Gustavo expected to find everything but happiness in a lover. Lali, his wife, can tolerate certain adventures as long as they do not break the marital routine of a high society couple. While each one of them makes the necessary bets to achieve what he wants, it will be inevitable to transgress the thin line that divides happiness from misfortune, as a reminder that giving in to the demands of our personality is also a way of configuring our destiny. Alonso Cueto has written a vibrant novel about desires under the premise that all emotional search is also a police narrative. In this case, the detective is called Sonia and the interrogations take place in a violent city in which love can be a liquidated merchandise to the highest bidder, or also, a ghost that never stops snooping in the rooms of memory.
