The Best Enemy

This is the fourth in Olguin's Buenos Aires thriller series, starring the gutsy, earthy, yet vulnerable investigative reporter Veronica Rosenthal. Two journalists have been executed in cold blood. Is it a burglary gone wrong? Veronica has her doubts.The magazine's investigation of a high-level corruption scandal seems likelier to have triggered the violence. A scandal involving influential Argentine businessmen involved with an Israeli linked to atrocities committed in Gaza in 2014. This is a dazzling thriller but also a story about the possibilities of love, in which jealousy, eroticism, and humor make an appearance.

The New York Times said: "...Olguín is so interested in exploring the porous bonds of romantic relationships and the shifting meanings of fidelity and commitment. But those explorations pay off in surprising (and juicy) ways. I know I'll be reading the three earlier installments immediately." Sarah Weinman, NYT
