About the Book

Manuel, un estudiante de filosofía colombiano, es acusado de tráfico de drogas y retenido en una cárcel de Bangkok. A pesar de que puede enfrentarse a la pena de muerte si no se declara culpable, su principal inquietud es volver a ver a su hermana, desaparecida en Colombia años antes. Su historia conmueve al cónsul colombiano en Nueva Delhi, que a partir de ese momento se embarcará en una búsqueda con el objetivo de reunir a los dos hermanos. Con una prosa cristalina en la que se vislumbra apenas un poso de melancolía, Plegarias nocturnas es la historia de una mujer fuerte dispuesta a todo para conseguir justicia y de un estudiante que recorre medio mundo para buscar a la única persona de la que ha recibido amor. Es también la historia de una familia inmersa en una sociedad violenta: la Colombia del mandato de Uribe vista a través de dos jóvenes soñadores, con la sombra del paramilitarismo y los desaparecidos. Pero, por encima de todo, Plegarias nocturnas es una novela de amor. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Nighttime Prayers is a crime novel. Nighttime Prayers is a love story. Manuel, a philosophy student from Colombia, is accused of drug trafficking and is detained in a Bangkok prison. Thai law is clear: the penalty for drug trafficking is death. The Colombian ambassador in New Delhi is in charge of communicating with the prisoner about his options, and of trying to fulfill the only wish he seems to have: finding his sister Juana, who disappeared in Colombia years before. The ambassador finds her, and Juana describes the rise of paramilitarism during Uribe's term, the drama of the people who went missing, and the origin of her rage and fierce determination to make things change. The saga of Juana's search for a new future takes her on a wild ride, from Tokyo to Tehran, and from prostitution to marriage. Manuel and the ambassador follow her evasive but firm steps, in an attempt to restore justice, even if it might be too late
