- Synopsis
- A Vintage Shorts "Short Story Month" Selection They call it an office job--being a sicario, a hit man--because the sicario is always waiting by the phone. In MedellĂn, Colombia, there's always one more job to do. Juan Pablo Merendez is a young sicario just trying to get by, but when he's summoned to meet his shadowy boss for the first time, all he wants is out--to Cartagena. "Cartagena" is a heart-pounding, urgent story of violence, unbreakable bonds, and tantalizing escape. From the collection The Boat, winner of the Dylan Thomas Prize and the Anisfield-Wolf Award--Nam Le's masterfully ambitious globe-hopping debut, heralding the arrival of a remarkable new author. An eBook short.
