La pregunta de sus ojos
La atrapante novela policial de Eduardo Sacheri que fue llevada al cine por Juan José Campanella. Con motivo del 50 aniversario de Alfaguara, este título ha sido elegido como uno de los 50 imprescindibles de la historia de la editorial. Treinta años atrás, cuando Benjamín Chaparro era prosecretario en un juzgado de instrucción, llegó a su oficina la causa de un homicidio que no pudo olvidar. Ahora, ya jubilado, repasa buena parte de su vida, las instancias de ese caso y sus insospechadas derivaciones, y la historia de un amor secreto que lo mantiene acorralado entre la pasión y el silencio. Una trama policial ambientada en los años sesenta y setenta, en una Argentina que paulatinamente se sumerge en la violencia política y cuyos personajes luchan contra la impunidad, la burocracia del sistema judicial y las miserias propias y ajenas. Una historia protagonizada por hombres que hicieron de la búsqueda de la verdad un destino; de la memoria, un camino imprescindible, y de la lealtad, un culto que trasciende el tiempo, las distancias y la muerte. La novela inspiró la película de Juan José Campanella ganadora del premio Óscar.
The Secret in Their Eyes
'A startling psychological mystery' Michael Greenberg Benjamín Chaparro is a man haunted by his past. A retired detective, he remains obsessed with the decades-old case of the rape and murder of a young woman in her own bedroom. As he revisits the details of the investigation, he is reacquainted with his similarly long, unrequited love for Irene Hornos, then just an intern, now a respected judge. Set in the Buenos Aires of the 1970s, The Secret in Their Eyes reveals the underpinnings of Argentina's Dirty War, and asks what justice really means. And it explores the boundaries of love in all its forms: adoration, devotion and, finally, obsession.
