Un hombre, Tafur, está en prisión. Trata de reconstruir su vida a través de sus memorias para llegar a entender qué lo llevó a cometer un cruel asesinato. Con una prosa que cautiva desde el comienzo, Mario Mendoza sumerge al lector en la ambivalente vida de un individuo que busca liberarse de sus obsesiones. Una extraña enfermedad que aqueja a Tafur desde pequeño ha hecho que se mueva entre los extremos: una vida tranquila que lo lleva a tener horribles visiones y una vida entre los marginados que le procura tranquilidad. Viajando de un extremo a otro transcurren sus días, hasta que logra encontrar un frágil equilibrio entre los dos mundos. Relato de un asesino, la tercera novela de Mario Mendoza, nos presenta un alucinante recorrido por el alma de un hombre, al tiempo que nos obliga a una desesperanzada y lúcida travesía por Bogotá y todas las ciudades que en ella conviven.

AN ALL-NEW EPIC BEGINS! Valiant's sold-out descent into the horrors of the ancient world returns with A BLOODSTAINED JUMPING-ON POINT from legendary comics master Peter Milligan (Detective Comics) and Harvey Award-nominated artist Robert Gill (BOOK OF DEATH) as Antonius Axia, history's first detective, launches into an otherworldly mystery of monsters, magic, and conspiracy at the boundaries of human understanding... The Roman standard - the eagle borne at the front of each Roman legion - was more than just a symbol of the soldiers that carried it... It was a symbol of Rome itself, the ultimate embodiment of the empire's power... But now, in the mist-shrouded Germanic forest of Tottenwald, the unthinkable has happened: A rampaging barbarian horde has crushed three of Rome's most highly skilled detachments in battle... and captured their mighty Roman eagles. His authority threatened by this all-too-public shame, the mad emperor Nero has dispatched Antonius Axia, the empire's finest ""detectioner"" and hero of Britannia, and Achillia, the sword-wielding champion of the gladiatorial arena, to reclaim his stolen relics at any cost. But what began as a simple mission will soon become a terrifying journey into the dark heart of belief itself as the isolated woodlands of Rome's enemies reveal unseen dimensions...and the true power of the legion's lost eagles threatens to consume any who would pursue them...
