About the Book

A great novel out of Antofagasta, Chile, by the winner of the Premio Alfaguara de novela and a top of all lists bestseller in Chile.
A serial rapist stalks women at the Antofagasta cemetery. The victims testify that they were dragged into a mausoleum by a man with a scary voice who smelled like death. Tira Gutiérez is the person in charge of finding the culprit. He is the only private investigator in town who, until now, had only handled infidelity cases. Tira is a detective only due to his circumstances, an ex-miner who, after being unemployed, fell upon his secret passion of solving crimes. His partner is as farfetched as he is, a young nun. As the investigations continue, Sister Tegualda discovers that under her habit, she possesses a great sexuality and seductive abilities that she had never imagined.
Rivera Letelier triumphantly breaks into the police detective genre. Death is an Old Tale raises some of the issues that support current society and brings to the thriller genre an important protagonist.
