Book Description
Pablo Sim’s life is a mess. His career as an architect is at a dead-end; reduced to designing soulless office buildings desecrating the heart of Buenos Aires. His marriage seems to be one endless argument with his wife over the theatrics of their rebellious teenage daughter. Everything changes with the unexpected appearance of Leonor, a beautiful young woman living in the apartment of Nelso Jara, and a blackmailer who has been murdered and buried in the foundations of a building finished twenty years before.
Editorial Reviews
Review
Praise for previous novels by Claudia Pineiro:
‘Thursday Night Widows is a gripping story. The dystopia portrayed is an indictment not solely of an assassin but of Argentina’s class structure and the willful blindness of its petty bourgeoisie.’ – Times Literary Supplement

‘If you read only one crime book in translation this year, make All Yours the one, a book that grabs you from the start and whips along at pace. It screams out to become a film.’ —
Crime Time‘This is a dark, psychologically tense tale of a man s awakening to the things that really matter in life. Not a traditional crime novel, perhaps, but a rewarding read nevertheless.’ —
