Resumen
FUENTES, Felipe Oliver y CASTRO ROCHA, Rogelio. El Killer. Representaciones inestables de un homicida. Valenciana [online]. 2011, vol.4, n.8, pp.77-93. ISSN 2007-2538. https://doi.org/10.15174/rv.v0i8.215.
El Killer by Josué Montijo describes the serial murders of Juan Benito Aybar, a “common” citizen who suddenly starts killing the drug addicts of San Juan. But far beyond of offering a unilateral vision of the assassin as the prototype of the “traditional psychopath”, the novel offers a set of contradictory versions making imposible any attempt of classification. In the process a sinister turn out for justice emerge as the assassin becomes a sort of defender of the “right order”.
