Matar a Una Amiga / The Girl I Want to Kill - (Ficción) by Lee Kkoch-Nim (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

"Facts don't matter. What people believe becomes the truth." Juyeon and Seoeun are close friends. One day, after a heated argument, Seoeun's body is found, and Juyeon is arrested as the prime suspect. But for some reason, Juyeon can't remember anything about that day. A journalist breaks the news, shocking the public; television networks compete to air special programs about it, broadcasting sensational headlines. Through numerous interviews with people who testify about the relationship between the two friends, the story unfolds in a whirlwind of events that leads to a surprising and unpredictable ending. With this work, a bestseller and popular success in Korea since its publication, Lee Kkoch-nim offers a chilling warning about a society where the truth is manipulated without regard for the consequences.
