Los hombres tienen miedo a la luz

A quiet and sunny afternoon in the city of Los Angeles, a seemingly anonymous building and, suddenly, an explosion occurs inside. The devastated building housed one of the few clinics that perform abortions. There was one victim, and defenseless bystanders included Brendan, an Uber driver in his fifties, and his client, Elise, a former college professor who helps women about to abort. In the wrong place and at the most unpredictable time, both find themselves involved in a dangerous race against time. At first, everything seems to show that it is an attack perpetrated by a small group of religious fundamentalists, but the reality is much more murky and alarming... Halfway between the crime novel and the social chronicle of an America in crisis, Men Are Afraid of the Light is above all a powerful portrait of a man and a woman caught up in the violence and extremism of our time.
