Demencial y obsesivo: el mejor thriller viene ahora de Corea. HUELE A SANGRE Me despertó el hedor metálico de la sangre. Cuando bajé las escaleras, encontré a mi madre en el suelo, muerta, con un tajo de oreja a oreja y el camisón manchado de un intenso color rojo. NO RECUERDO NADA Mi nombre es Yu Jin y, para controlar los ataques de epilepsia, debo tomar la medicación cada día. La enfermedad interrumpió mi fulgurante carrera como nadador olímpico. Las pastillas me provocan insufribles dolores, así que decidí saltarme algunas tomas. Anoche sufrí un colapso de los que me nublan la memoria y ahora no recuerdo nada: ¿quién ha matado a mi madre? ¿Por qué creo que la oí gritando mi nombre? ¿Me pedía auxilio o imploraba clemencia? DEBO HALLAR EL ORIGEN DEL MAL El buen hijo es un thriller demencial y obsesivo, de una agudeza psicológica excepcional, escrito en un ritmo eléctrico y jadeante.
