My Favorite Scar (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781641295154)

A teenage girl and her gangster father embark on a road trip toward revenge in this award-winning coming-of-age Argentinian noir.

Fifteen-year-old ﾁmbar has never known any parent other than her father, V兤tor Mondrag, nor any life other than his. On any given Friday night, ﾁmbar longs to be at the arcade or a rock concert, but she's more likely to be patching up V兤tor's latest bullet hole in a dingy motel or creating a new set of fake identities for the both of them.

When a tattooed mercenary kills V兤tor's best friend and vows that V兤tor is next, father and daughter set off on a joyride across Argentina in search of bloody retribution. But ﾁmbar's growing pains hurt worse than her beloved sawed-off shotgun's kickback as she begins to question the structure of her world. How much is her father not telling her? Could her life ever be different? And will she survive long enough to find out?

It's kill or be killed in this gritty, devastating coming-of-age thriller from the king of Argentine neo-noir.
