Rosario receives a bullet while she is receiving a kiss, this is how Jorge Franco begins his novel, and in those moments that Rosario spends suspended between love and death, the narrator tells us the story of a strange and mysterious love that he lived on one side with her, recalling with remarkable movements the past of “Rosario,” or rather what he was able to know from her past. She was the one who grew up in the city of Medellin, where there were weapons, crime, and poverty, and she used scissors as a tool to carry out all her crimes until they became close to her name.
In quick and intense flashes, the writer draws the features of an unpredictable, mysterious character who kills his victims in cold blood while imprinting the kiss of death on their lips. When he does this, he does not reveal everything, but rather provokes the reader’s imagination, inviting him to participate in completing the picture.
