Los Caballeros
About This Book
Author: E.B. Harding
Description:
In the rural valleys of Colombia's Valle del Cauca, the land stretches in long fields of sugar cane, scattered pastures, and dark bands of forest climbing the nearby hills. It is country that farmers and hunters have known for generations.
The men called Los Caballeros move easily through it. They know the trails between the farms, the creeks hidden under the trees, and the narrow roads where the cane gives way to forest. They are the ones people call when something is wrong in the countryside.
But lately the land itself seems unsettled. Dogs refuse to follow the trails they once ran freely. Cattle grow restless at night. And along the edges of the forest, strange signs begin to appear—tracks that do not belong to anything the hunters recognize.
When one of their own fails to return from the hills, the remaining men set out across the pastures and cane fields to find him. What they discover waiting in the quiet countryside forces them to confront something they have never faced before: the possibility that the land they thought they understood has been hiding something all along.
Los Caballeros is a tense rural thriller set in the shadowed countryside of the Valle del Cauca, where familiar ground can quickly turn strange, and where the night carries sounds no one can quite explain.
