Description



Book Synopsis



"Mi nombre es Juan Planchard, tengo veintinueve años y cinco millones de dólares en mi cuenta. Tengo una casa en Caracas, una en Madrid y un apartamento en Nueva York. Soy dueño de una casa de apuestas en el Hotel Palms de Las Vegas. Comparto un avión privado con el testaferro de un pana, y estoy convencido de que todas las decisiones que tomé durante la revolución bolivariana fueron correctas y serán agradecidas por mi descendencia​."

Así comienza Las aventuras de Juan Planchard, la historia de un don nadie de clase media que se hizo millonario al instrumentalizar la misma corrupción que asoló a Venezuela. Cena con oligarcas, se acuesta con modelos y navega en un mundo donde el poder es la única moneda de cambio, y la moral, un lujo que nadie puede permitirse. Pero en medio del caos, la codicia y el dinero manchado de sangre, Juan se enamora perdidamente de Scarlet, una belleza estadounidense perspicaz y seductora que podría ser su salida, o su perdición definitiva.



Review Quotes




"Sexy, smart, violent, this book is spectacular. It doesn't let up. A total killer."--Elliot Ackerman, New York Times best-selling author of Sheepdogs and 2034

"The Adventures of Juan Planchard is a smart, well written, twisty, shocking, and darkly funny journey through the Venezuelan criminal underbelly; it's also a startling portrait of a corrupt, authoritarian regime. It's a wild and unforgettable thrill ride with a sharp social conscience and I urge you to buy it and read it as soon as you can. This is a fantastic book."
--Don Winslow, #1 internationally bestselling author of THE CARTEL and THE BORDER

"An electrifying, take-no-prisoners page-turner from one of our finest filmmakers, The Adventures of Juan Planchard is the great economic crime novel of our predatory economic age. What a bracing, honest, ferocious gift Jakubowicz has given us."--Junot Diaz

"Reader, be warned: this book is on fire. You will enter a brilliantly rendered world of sex and violence that is both fantastical and achingly real. You won't get far before you check the locks on your door."--Lawrence Wright, Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Human Scale
