Una novela de Fernando Vallejo.

«La Virgen de los Sicarios es una descarnada parodia de la violencia que afect a Medell n durante el auge del cartel dirigido por Pablo Escobar. Aqu Vallejo se representa como un anciano homosexual de conservadoras costumbres y de esp ritu elitista que se dedica a la gram tica y que regresa a su ciudad natal despu s de largos a os de exilio en busca de amantes adolescentes y en espera de la muerte. Con humor c ustico describe la ciudad y sus habitantes, nada escapa a su af n desacralizador y a su mirada critica. --Mar a Mercedes Jaramillo, Gaceta de Colombia

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Our Lady of the Assassins is the most beautiful, delirious tribute to love and loss that literature has given us in a long while." -Le Figaro litt raire

In the weakening of a society that has broken with its values and its past, in which hired assassins and hitmen are children, and in which impunity is the norm and violence the air that is breathed, through the crowded streets of Medell n, in a teeming crowd of the unemployed and panhandlers, of thieves and bandits, street vendors and cokeheads, walk the crazy (or lucid) narrator and his lover, a killer teenager, trying to make amends for one wrong with another.

When nothing is left but to pray and sprinkle the bullets with holy water, the tiny church of Mar a Auxiliadora in the town of Sabaneta becomes a sanctuary for hitmen pilgrims and at the same time a focal point for this amazing novel.
