ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
In this amazing psychological and domestic thriller, Santiago Roncagliolo imprints a dizzying rhythm to the genre, based on the tragic story of a mother who is involved in the violent world of the underworld.
Successful, mother of two girls and with the ideal husband, Maritza Fontana feels fulfilled. A lawyer in one of the most important law firms in the city, she has just opened a luxurious boutique hotel that has also placed her in the cream of society. However, precisely on the night of the inauguration, his daughter Patricia is nowhere to be found. At first, Maritza attributes it to her capricious nature, but later learns that a car accident is the reason for her absence and the starting point of a maelstrom of destruction that will turn her world upside down...
With a Maritza who narrates everything from prison, in El accidente (The Accident) the reader takes pleasure in the perverse pleasure of seeing the other fall, of witnessing how the apparently perfect life of people who move in the upper echelons of money and privilege crumbles.
