Sinossi
The war against the Shining Path is over. Yet when a charred and mutilated body is discovered during Carnival, the people of the small town of Ayacucho understand that death has once more returned to their land. Only now the terror emanates not from the government death squads, nor from the guerrillas in the mountains, but from a single source. A serial murderer. And now everyone is afraid. Everyone is a suspect.

Recensione
'We united to salute the very special combination of narrative prowess, psychological drama and social revelation with which Roncagliolo's novel rewards its page-riffling reader.' --Boyd Tonkin, Independent Foreign Fiction Prize chairman
`Riveting... As the moral line dissolves between terrorist and counter-terrorist... Edith Grossman's versatile translation spans hard-boiled noir, punctilious legalese, and the illiterate scrawls of a would-be serial killer... Red April is rooted in Peru's past and present, but resonates far beyond.' --Guardian
`Violence stalks the pages of this... sophisticated work of terrifying cunning; here is a novel to make one gasp and wonder anew at the furtive extremes of human behaviour... A dark and almost unhinged display.' Irish Times --Irish Times
`The meticulous documenting of barbarities, magical beliefs, the colourful details of Holy Week... rites of blood and torture... the extreme cynicism of government... The terrible story of a society without hope.'
--Independent on Sunday
