*** A CHILLING STORY THAT WILL CAPTIVATE YOU FROM COVER TO COVER ***The crooked mind of a man and a fratricidal struggle are magnificently combined in a historical novel.Marked from birth, life seemed to give Rodolfo Fierro a second, and magnificent, opportunity, giving him love, family, money, and a high social position, only to later submerge him in the dark waters of despair, pain, and anguish.Owner of a natural magnetism to attract people, his friendliness filled him with friends despite playing heavy pranks on them, from which he was always, in the end, forgiven.Close behind him was death, who was in charge of snatching away what was most precious to him, and turned him into his soul collector, transforming him into a being willing to take the lives of friends and enemies alike, even for no reason.Rodolfo Fierro became a vile being, gaining fame as a murderer in the midst of a revolution where killing was an everyday thing.With this hair-raising plot, German Olivares Garcia takes us by the hand through the mind of a ruthless man and his relationship with death, whom he serves without reservation, but who at the same time professes unconditional loyalty to his boss in the Division. del Norte, General Francisco (Pancho) Villa, who recognizes Fierro as the only one who will follow him to the end.THE STORY OF RODOLFO FIERRO "THE BUTCHER" LIKE NEVER TOLD!
