When a dead body is found close to Colombia's capital, Bogotá, journalist Victor Silampa rushes to the scene. By his side is Emir Estupiñan, who eagerly abandons his dull office cubicle to join the investigation. The journey that follows is packed with crime, real estate fraud, prostitution, politics, and countless other diversions that contain clues into the dark side of Colombia's government. The Spanish thriller THE ART OF LOSING comes from the best-selling book of the same title by Santiago Gambo.
