Beschreibung
A tabloid sex scandal leads to murder in the Nobel laureate's politically charged thriller set among the wealthy elite of 1990s Peru.Through the 1990s, Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori oversaw a deeply corrupt society. Those among the elite enjoyed privilege beyond imagining. But two couples from Lima's upper class are about to become embroiled in a disturbing vortex of erotic adventures and politically driven blackmail.Enrique, a high-profile businessman, receives a visit from notorious tabloid editor Rolando Garro, who attempts to blackmail him with graphic pictures from an old business trip. When Enrique refuses to pay, the images are on the front page. Meanwhile, Enrique's wife is in the midst of a passionate affair with the wife of Enrique's lawyer and best friend. When Garro shows up murdered, the two couples must navigate the unspoken laws and customs of Peru's criminal underworld, while the magazine staff embarks on its greatest expose yet.A twisting, unpredictable tale, The Neighborhood is at once a scathing indictment of Fujimori's regime and a crime thriller that evokes the vulgarity of freedom in a corrupt system.
