From the best-selling author of The Secret in Their Eyes, an adventure about friendship, soccer, and good humor When Alejandro “Mono” dies of cancer, his brother and two closest friends, a tight-knit group since childhood, are left to figure out how to take care of his young daughter, Guadalupe. They want to give her all the love they felt for Mono and secure her future, but there isn’t a single peso left in the bank. Mono invested all of his money in a promising soccer player whose talents haven't panned out, and the three hundred thousand dollars Mono spent on his transfer is soon to be lost for good. How do you sell a forward who can’t score a goal? How do you negotiate in a world whose rules you don’t know? How do you maintain relationships when repeated failures create fissures in lifelong loyalties? Fernando, Mauricio, and Ruso pool the few resources in their arsenal to come up with strategies—from harebrained to inspired—in their desperate attempt to recoup Mono’s investment for Guadalupe. Following the lives of four distinct characters, who, despite their great differences, still manage to find solace and pride in one another, Papers in the Wind is a tribute to friendship and proof that love and humor can triumph over sadness.

The Secret in Their Eyes (Movie Tie-In Edition)

Una trama policial ambientada en los años sesenta y setenta, en una Argentina que paulatinamente se sumerge en la violencia política y cuyos personajes luchan contra la impunidad, la burocracia del sistema judicial y las miserias propias y ajenas. La historia que inspiró la película de protagonizada por Chiwetel Ejiofor, Julia Roberts y Nicole Kidman. Treinta años atrás, cuando Benjamín Chaparro era prosecretario en un juzgado de instrucción, llegó a su oficina la causa de un homicidio que no pudo olvidar. Ahora, ya jubilado, repasa buena parte de su vida, las instancias de ese caso y sus insospechadas derivaciones, y la historia de un amor secreto que lo mantiene acorralado entre la pasión y el silencio. Una historia protagonizada por hombres que hicieron de la búsqueda de la verdad un destino; de la memoria, un camino imprescindible; y de la lealtad, un culto que trasciende el tiempo, las distancias y la muerte. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION This story inspired Juan José Campanella's movie, 2010 Oscar winner in the foreign film category. Set in the Argentina of the 1960s and 70s, the detective story takes place at a time where the country begins a gradual descent into political violence and unrest, and its characters fight against impunity, the bureaucracy of the judicial system, and personal and shared miseries. Thirty years before, a homicide case crossed Benjamín Chaparro's desk, one he was unable to forget. Now retired, he reviews a large portion of his life, the instances of the case and the unsuspected consequences, and the story of a forbidden love that keeps him trapped between passion and silence.
