The Hand That Feeds You

The robbery of the armoured car in Montevideo fails miserably. A lucky break for the intrepid Ursula who manages to snatch all the loot. Only now, the wannabe robbers are hot on her heels. As is the police. And Ursula's sister. But Ursula is a criminal virtuoso, and given the hilarious ineptitude of those in pursuit, she might just pull it off.

The attempted robbery of the armoured car in the back streets of Montevideo is a miserable failure. A lucky break for the intrepid Ursula Lopez who manages to snatch all the loot, more hindered than helped by her faint-hearted and reluctant companion Diego. Only now, the wannabe robbers are hot on her heels. As is the police. And Ursula's sister. But Ursula turns out to be enormously talented when it comes to criminal undertakings, and given the hilarious ineptitude of those in pursuit, she might just pull it off.

She is an irresistible heroine. A murderess with a sense of humour, a lovable criminal with an edge and she is practically invisible to the men who dominate the deeply macho society of Uruguay.

Praise for Crocodile Tears:

'Fast, slick and acerbically funny: buckle up and enjoy the ride.' - Guardian

'Rosende smoothly combines dark humor and farce with moving depictions of the grimmer aspects of life. Elmore Leonard fans will look forward to the sequel.' - Publishers Weekly
