Dr Fabricio Tocco has just published a new book, Precarious Secrets - A History of a Latin American Political Thriller (Austin: University of Texas Press, 2025).

For the past five decades, a distinctive type of political thriller has been steadily developing in Latin America.  This book is a panoramic overview of the genre in the hands of renowned writers and filmmakers from Argentina, Mexico, Chile, and Brazil, as well as lesser-known Peruvian, Uruguayan and Paraguayan artists for whom the style has been a vehicle for pungent narratives shot through with menace and conspiracy.
