Death Going Down

A classic murder mystery from the Argentinian Agatha Christie
Frida Eidinger is young, beautiful and lying dead in the lift of a luxury Buenos Aires apartment block.
It looks like suicide, and yet none of the building's residents can be trusted; the man who discovered her is a womanising drunk; her husband is behaving strangely; and upstairs, a photographer and his sister appear to be hiding something sinister. When Inspector Ericourt and his colleague Blasi are set on the trail of some missing photographs, a disturbing secret past begins to unravel...
One of Argentina's greatest detective stories, Death Going Down is a post-war tale of survival and extortion, obsession and lies, shot through with some of history's darkest hours.
María Angélica Bosco (Buenos Aires 1917 -2006) was an award-winning author, known as the Argentinean Agatha Christie for her dedication to detective fiction. Death Going Down was her first novel, and won the Emecé Novel Award in 1954.
