Un periodista consigue acceder a un peligroso delincuente a quien nadie ha podido entrevistar. En una pequeña sala dentro de la cárcel, el recluso inicia un relato que, más que una confesión, es un viaje sin retorno a los inescrutables dominios de una mente criminal. Es la historia de un hombre que ha cometido un horrendo asesinato sin justificación alguna, pero que devela una vida de privaciones, dolor y venganza.

En su debut literario, Carlos Pinto --creador de hitos audiovisuales como Mea culpa y El día menos pensado-- se adentra en un caso que nunca pudo llevar a la pantalla, pero que lo obsesionó por años.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The Silence of the Damned is Carlos Pinto's shocking first novel. Alberto Fuguet has said of Pinto: "his name is a genre. Carlos Pinto is our Hitchcock." This mastery has now been transferred onto the literary plane to descend into the underworlds of the human condition.

A journalist gains access to a dangerous criminal that no one has been able to interview. In a small room inside the prison, the inmate begins to tell a story that, more than a confession, is a journey without return into the inscrutable domains of a criminal mind. It is the story of a man who has committed a horrendous murder without justification, but one that also unveils a life of deprivation, pain, and revenge.

In his literary debut, Carlos Pinto --creator of audiovisual milestones such as Mea culpa and El día menos pensado-- delves into a case that he was never able to take to the screen, but which had obsessed him for years.
