Mataperros, obra ganadora del III Premio Iberoamericano de Relatos " Cortes de Cádiz " , reúne una colección de narraciones en las que Manuel Pereira evoca un tiempo desaparecido en el barrio habanero de la Loma del Ángel, en torno a los años de la Revolución: " En enero del año 59 llegaron los barbudos a la ciudad, bajaron en jeeps y en camiones por la Loma del Ángel. Y a partir de ese día, todo empezó a cambiar " . Un doble viaje -en el tiempo y en la memoria- de la mano del autor que con su novela El Comandante Veneno le hizo decir a Gabriel García Márquez " es la novela que me hubiera gustado escribir sobre cuba " .



Jamie Chivers' life turns around when a man with prospects comes into his local pub by mistake. He ends up on an oil rig in the North Sea - and a desperate industry gets a desperate man. Unfortunately, on Jamie's first shift, someone bludgeons the psychopathic Toolpusher to death and tosses him into a mud pit. All hell breaks loose. There's a big party. There's a seafood buffet. Pavlova. Dominoes. Jamie falls in love and has his heart broken by a roustabout. The cops arrive. What happens to the body isn't fit to be printed on the outside of a book. As others crack up, Jamie finds himself gaining in strength. Will he solve the murder? Will the rig strike oil? Will true love prevail? Drilling, Killing, Love, Drugs & Mud - what it takes to extract the black gold that powers, and may destroy, the planet.
