This is the debut novel from the editor of Velvet magazine. Set in Guatemala at the close of the civil war, If It Falls is the story of Raphael, a journalist haunted by his past. A fantastic thriller where politics, sex, death and relationships are combined to give you a relentlessly good read.
Raphael and Josue are both in love with the same woman, Lola. So how do they cope when she is killed? Josue is beaten by the police and later arrested for Lola's murder, while Raphael thinks the best of everyone but himself. He is tormented by the guilt that he survived the war, but his wife and son did not, and convinces himself that Lola was informing on him. As his pain twists and confuses him, he talks himself into confessing to Lola's murder as the only thing that can save him. Add to this the murder of another journalist who was having an affair with Lola's sister, and a sinister ex-military police officer in a corrupt state and you have the making of a psychological, character-driven thriller.
