In Evil Hour is the thrilling story of a Colombian society menaced by rumour and paranoia by the Nobel Laureate Gabriel García Márquez, author of the One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera.As a small South American town sweats under an oppressive heat, an unknown person creeps through the night sticking malicious posters to walls and doors.When the contents of one poster lead to a murder, everyone knows that the town is threatened by a malevolent presence - but is there anything that the mayor, the doctor or the priest can do about it?'In Evil Hour was the book which was to inspire my own career as a novelist.I owe my writing voice to that one book!'
