Averno verano

Madrid rises implacable in the month of August like a city in ruins. It does not collapse, but engulfs everything in its path to form a single graveyard of souls and debris. All the cracks, material and human, that map its streets are exposed. An undercurrent unites in this novel the most diverse characters from the new to the old world, fleeing from the past, from the present, from an unsought future, from places that trap them in their jaws and refuse to release them. But what happens while that escape plan is hatched? What debts must be paid? What pacts are closed with the devil himself? Is it possible to cut the umbilical cord that feeds us all with a poison that we reject? A father of a family, a philologist disguised as a stewardess, an opponent from a good family, a mother and a son who escape Colombian poverty. The protagonists of Averno Verano find themselves in limbo, at a crossroads surrounded by mirages, created by an unbreathable summer in Madrid, which impede their passage.
