Burning Coins in Flames

About This Novel
"Burning Coins" uses kaleidoscope-like techniques to fictionalize real historical events and write it into a shocking and violent story. The story spans the two cities of Buenos Aires and Montevideo. After joining a criminal gang, the gangsters Brinine and Dorda, known as the "Twins", colluded with corrupt police and politicians to rob a bank cash truck. They fled to Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, with a huge amount of money, and were rounded up by Argentine and Uruguayan police in an apartment. The murderous robbers killed several more police officers during the confrontation and defiantly burned the remaining stolen money. The ultimate siege by the police of the two countries began. This brutal siege and its shocking ending have become a legend in Latin America. In 2000, Argentinian director Marcelo Pinheiro adapted "Fire" into a film of the same name, which won the Spanish Goya Award for Best Spanish Foreign Film.
