A story about the fourth estate subjected to the third degree. That would be the headline that comes to mind to present this novel. If you recently spoke of the first novel of the actor pablo riveroToday we have to know the second novel by Javier Bernal. For the case two debutantes with very good manners.
In this book For a handful of lettersWe meet two fellow journalists who are launching a project that tries to converge traditional journalism with the unpredictable information that flows through the networks today. So far interesting, a plot about a business adventure. Two willful guys, Pablo Azcárraga and Ryan Mullkin, experienced in different journalistic aspects, join forces to carry the project forward.
The appearance of Mary Wo, an old friend of Ryan's, who from one day to the next becomes a real headache for Ryan, but also for Pablo, takes special relevance. Both have a peculiar love relationship with the girl, with the corresponding emotional breakdowns, especially for Pablo, who has a stable partner.
And the business project continues in a spirited plot that begins to awaken certain shadows with that woman located between the two partners. But the most exciting action is yet to come. While we are mimicking some characters that are becoming extremely close to us with their particular lifestyles, we are also approaching the vertigo of success in their project.
Until an anonymous collaborator of the newspaper brings them up to date on certain criminal aspects that seem to affect the highest political and economic spheres.
It is then that the thread of this novel begins to appear as a highly suggestive high-risk entanglement, where the networks, like a great matrix moved from the deep Internet or deep web, offers the new space for the biggest conspiracies.
The truth, for Pablo and Ryan, is beginning to be a matter of extreme gravity that will put their lives in danger, but whose knowledge ultimately prevents them from departing from the investigation of the current status quo of power at all levels.
