Milena o el fémur más bello del mundo
Milena's beauty was also her downfall. A sex slave since adolescence, she attempts to escape on the death of her protector, a communications magnate who suffers a heart attack while making love to her. During her anguished flight she comes across the Azules, a trio of the just formed by the journalist Tomás Arizmendi, the politician Amelia Navarro and high-security specialist Jaime Lemus. They want to free her, but Milena keeps a thorny mystery closely guarded in her black notebook that she imagines will be her salvation and, more importantly her form of revenge. A vigourous novel of action and love that denounces the abuse of power and corruption but, above all, shows readers the generous heart of a humiliated woman, a woman like so many others in an increasingly globalised world.
