10 yrs after Falklands war veteran felix felipe, hacker, has to find witnesses to a bizarre murder for a v sinister company boss. This is bk that vividly reflects the Argentinian soldiers experience of war and it's impact on their lives. Sprawling, fantastic, drug fuelled, it rd like heart of darkness by hunter s Thompson but while at times a hard read it is unique + reflected how a war so vivid in English jingoism was felt by a troubled country.
