Los conspiradores

Things become risky when your target changes his behavior. You make mistakes, you leave serious evidence, the conspiracy fails. And when the conspiracy fails, the murderers die. Behind the murders that change history are the conspirators, the masterminds who operate in the shadows. Raised by Old Raccoon in the La Perrera library, Reseng lives surrounded by conspiracies to kill and books that no one reads. His destiny was to be a murderer in the corrupt Seoul mousetraps. Until he broke the rules. Is Reseng now blacklisted? Who will take care of your cats? Who put that bomb in your toilet? Persecuted, Reseng meets three young men - the shop assistant, his sister in a wheelchair and a cross-eyed and obsessive weaver - who live their own conspiracy, as extraordinary as the one that is plotted against the hired killer. A revelation of the Korean narrative; a very original thriller full of wit and humor.
