Vivian is a cosmopolitan Taiwanese-American tourist who often escapes her busy life in London through adventure and travel. Johnny is…
a fifteen-year-old Irish teenager living a neglected life on the margins of society. He has grown up in a family where crime is customary, violence is a necessity, and everything-and anyone-can be yours for the taking. As Vivian looks to find her calling professionally, she delights in exploring foreign countries, rolling hillsides, and new cultures. And as a young single woman, she has grown used to experiencing life on her own. But all of that changes when, on one bright spring afternoon in West Belfast, Vivian's path collides with Johnny and culminates in a horrifying act of violence. In the aftermath of the incident, both Johnny and Vivian are forced to confront the chain of events that led to the attack. Vivian must struggle to recapture the woman that she was and the woman she aspired to be, while dealing with a culture and judicial system that treats assault victims as less than human. Johnny, meanwhile, flees to the sanctity of his transitory Irish clan. But when he is finally brought to reckon for his crimes, Vivian learns that justice is not always as swift or as fair as she would hopeBy Belén López Peiró. 2021
Crónica del duro proceso que sigue a la denuncia de un abuso familiar y que implica enfrentar los prejuicios de…
la sociedad y los obstáculos de la justicia. «Contemporáneo en su estilo breve y fragmentario -donde se cruzan diario, imágenes, géneros y lenguajes diversos-, esta novela lírica y vertiginosa revoluciona la no ficción en sus formas y temas».Gabriela Cabezón Cámara Después de un año sin noticias, una llamada desde la Fiscalía anuncia que, finalmente, la denuncia por abuso sexual ha sido elevada a juicio. Esa mañana invernal comienza para la narradora otro duro proceso: encontrar representación legal, entender las lógicas burocráticas de la Justicia, tejer redes de apoyo para afrontar la causa contra su tío, un comisario poderoso, y juntar coraje para reabrir un expediente que lleva al pasado familiar. Sin demagogias, Belén López Peiró revisa los contornos difusos de los recuerdos; ensaya respuestas al agobio de audiencias humillantes e indaga en los laberintos de los juicios por jurado. Donde no hago pie profundiza el proyecto literario de Por qué volvías cada verano, antecedente clave de miles de denuncias anónimas y otras de enorme repercusión mediática. Con un ritmo avasallante, esta crónica encuentra las palabras para transformar en acción política un delito que pretendía permanecer secreto. Sobre Por qué volvías cada verano, la crítica dijo: «Uno de los 18 mejores libros del año».Revista Rolling Stone «De una contundencia expresiva increíble».Mauro Libertella, La Agenda «Una de las autoras del año».Carolina Amoroso, TN «Uno de los textos más valientes y más crudos que apareció recientemente».Agustina Larrea, InfobaeBy Tim MacGabhann. 2020

the murder of his photographer boyfriend Carlos, pursuing sobriety and building a new home with a new partner. Andrew has almost forgotten about the story that ruined his life - but that story hasn't forgotten about him, and a series of deadly threats forces him into helping the very man whose gang murdered his boyfriend and left him homeless.A literary take on the classic chase movie, HOW TO BE NOWHERE is the sequel to Tim MacGabhann's genre-busting and critically-acclaimed debut CALL HIM MINE, and a blistering thrill-ride deep into the fog of Central America's murky present and tragic future.By Tim MacGabhann. 2019

politicians, sifting the dregs of Mexico's drug war, they think they've seen it all. But when they find a body even the police are too scared to look at, what started out as just another reportage becomes the sort of story all reporters dream of.Until Carlos pushes for answers too fast, and winds up murdered, leaving Andrew grief-stricken and flailing for answers, justice, and revenge. Caught in a web of dirty money that stretches from the boardrooms of the United States to the death squads of El Salvador, Andrew must decide whether to save himself - or find out who killed the man he loves, and destroyed the only home he's ever known.(p) Orion Publishing Group Ltd 2019By Tim MacGabhann. 2019
