When literary creation is the recreational space, the solace for the mind occupied with other issues, the result is usually a progressive dedication to the field of fiction as a reflection of one's own experiences. Because that is where a custom world can be built, a replica of the same shadows that hang over our world or a new utopia where we can escape precisely from these.
The question is that jorge zepeda, the astute journalist, offers us more and more assiduously those stories between mirrors for a black gender with too many (and disturbing) overtones of certainty. And it is that having seen the intricacies of the mechanism, the ropes of the stage-shifting of the social scene, there is no other than to tell it, even through novels.
Thus, in each novel made in Zepeda we enter a journalistic chronicle of life itself with its subterfuges and its scenarios where the script is decided as the background of events, where corruption and megalomania are vice and power capable of everything ...

Milena femur or the most beautiful in the world
Everything has a necessary counterweight. The extremes meet nemesis in the magnetic proximity of their opposite values. It also happens with the best, with the most beautiful, with the most dreamed of. Even more so in a world charged with unceremoniously subjugating, destroying the exceptional to plunge it into the mediocrity of frustration and despair.
Milena's beauty was also her downfall. Converted into a sex slave since adolescence, she tries to flee when her protector dies, a media mogul who suffers a heart failure while making love to her. In his harrowing escape, he comes across Los Azules, a trio of vigilantes made up of journalist Tomás Arizmendi, politician Amelia Navarro and high security specialist Jaime Lemus. They want to free her, but Milena suspiciously keeps a thorny mystery that she treasures in her black notebook and that implies her salvation and, above all, her revenge.
A vigorous novel of action and love that denounces the abuses of power and corruption, but above all, it shows us the open soul of an abused woman, like so many others, in an increasingly globalized world.
Death against the clock
That the world of sports and the mafias participate in a kind of obscenity allowed under the complacency of the general public is undeniable. I myself made my first steps writing about it in my novel «Real Saragossa 2.0«. Cycling is always in the eye of the hurricane since medicine entered to probe the limits of what is permissible as a sport. A necessary and extremely interesting novel.
Jorge Zepeda presents a fascinating thriller, narrated in the first person and set in the highly secret and hermetic circle that makes up the Tour de France. Marc Moreau is the second of a cycling team that competes in the Tour de France, and the person responsible for making Steve Panata, a member of his team, one of the most successful cyclists of the moment. Panata is a world star and one of the favorites to win the next edition of the Tour de France. There's just one problem: someone is trying to weed out the most promising contenders for the yellow jersey.
Un thriller confined in the small and closed circle of those who make up the Tour de France and against the backdrop of the epic ascent of the peaks of the Pyrenees and the Alps. A classic of the noir genre in which each character is a suspect, everyone has their reasons for being the culprit ... until at the end of the story an unexpected twist ending delights even the readers of thriller smarter.
The corrupters
Being a journalist is always a risky profession. In the kindest country in the world, the relentless shadow of revenge may hang over the chronicler on duty. Because telling the facts is not always comfortable for those who deal with how and when things happen, also the worst and most unfortunate social events ...
Mexico City. The actress Pamela Dosantos had achieved stardom thanks to her famous thighs and a broad and generous heart through which the most exalted politicians in Mexico passed. The appearance of his body, savagely mutilated, triggers a crisis of unfathomable consequences for the return of the PRI to the presidency.
Tomás, a journalist dominated by discouragement, writes hastily in his column about the murder of the famous actress, incorporating a very tempting piece of information about the location of the corpse, without making the necessary checks. The publication of what seemed like a banal piece of information puts him in the spotlight: the body was a few meters from the house of Salazar, the most fearsome man in the new regime.
