The Alicanto: South American Thriller

By Amadeo Alcacer

A mysterious and violent predator committed two horrific murders in eleven months before moving from Chile to Argentina. Once settled, the sadistic murderer soon perpetrated six more grisly crimes. Homicide detective Diego Alandia suspects the worst: a deliberate campaign is underway by a brilliant serial killer whose signature offers few clues. Diego, a former soldier, must now battle his own personal demons as well as a murderer deadlier than any he's previously confronted. With his dedicated colleague Ivo, they pour over police reports, interview victims, and exhaust tenuous leads.Under cover of Buenos Aires nights, the monster strikes again leaving a gruesome trail of blood and terror that paralyzes the cities' inhabitants in fear. Expressing his twisted mind through the artistic staging of his victims, the Alicanto stays beyond the authorities' reach. Who is the Alicanto and why does he continue to kill innocent victims?Mixing Art and History references, 'the Alicanto' breaks the conventional formula of the crime thriller genre. It takes place in a tough, morally corrupt South American world in which the line between good and evil is often crossed.
