Synopsis "Seis Días (Biblioteca Formentor) (in Spanish)"

«Un relato de ritmo trepidante y conmovedor de una ciudad que se destruye a sí misma», Paula Hawkins.Una novela impactante y ambiciosa, tan electrizante como The Wire, sobre la delincuencia y la oportunidad, la raza, la venganza y la lealtad, ambientada en las caóticas calles de Los Ángeles durante uno de los más notorios e incendiarios juicios de la década de 1990. A las 15.15 h del 29 de abril de 1992, un jurado absolvió a tres policías blancos de Los Ángeles acusados de agredir a un hombre negro llamado Rodney King. Menos de dos horas después, la violencia explotó en la ciudad.Seis días de saqueos, incendios, asaltos y asesinatos. En 121 horas, cincuenta y tres personas perdieron la vida. Pero hubo muchas más muertes no contabilizadas provocadas por aquellos que aprovecharon los disturbios para dar rienda suelta al caos.
