'With frenetic pace and a hypnotic, disturbing plot, Urgent Matters is an exploration of how facts are constructed and which of them prevail to become realities. In the post-truth era, it is an essential read' - Agustina Bazterrica, author of Tender is the Flesh 'It has all the ingredients of the police procedurals that totally grip you. It's fast-paced, has action, suspense and great characters' - Claudia Pineiro, International Booker-shortlisted author of Elena Knows 'It's a flight forwards, an engine that advances to the very heart of fiction, and it sweeps everything away' - K Ferrari, author of Like Flies From Afar 'One of the pleasant surprises of recent months. [...] Very well structured in a short, very enjoyable read' - El Pais 'With a frenetic pace and a distinctive mix of bitterness and lucidity, this noir novel by Paula Rodriguez is part of the rich Argentine tradition of quality fiction written with the urgency of journalism' - Risbel
