Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

"Olguín, an acclaimed Argentinian novelist, delivers a layered, gripping story, finely translated by Miranda France." Best New Crime Thrillers, Financial TimesTHE TIMES BOOK OF THE MONTH.

"The Foreign Girls is very much a literary novel rather than simply a thriller. More slow-burning tango than brisk paso doble.The realities of life in Latin America offer little escapism perhaps, but in the gutsy, raunchy Veronica they have a contemporary heroine to cherish." The Times
