- Summary:
- It is stranger than fiction and worst than a horror movie. Set in Medell?n, La Virgen de los Sicarios is a shout of protest against the violence destroying Colombia. The protagonist, Fernando, has a lover who is killed, and Fernando unwittingly takes up with the youngster who did the killing. The killings typical of the real Medellin are taken to the absurd in a dark, sharp book that blames the church and the political elite for Colombia s tragedy.
