Description

The Sound of Things Falling by Juan Gabriel Vásquez In a seedy billiard hall, Antonio Yammara meets Ricardo Laverde, a man with secrets. As their friendship grows, Yammara becomes increasingly fascinated with Laverde's life. But when Laverde receives a mysterious cassette, his life takes a deadly turn. Shot dead on a street corner, Laverde's death sets Yammara on an investigation that leads back to the early 1960s and the dark history of marijuana smuggling in Colombia. As Yammara delves deeper into the past, he uncovers a complex web of events that led to the cocaine trade's devastating impact on the country. A gripping and atmospheric novel, The Sound of Things Falling is a haunting exploration of the human cost of violence and the power of the past to shape our present.
