The third installment from Daunt Books' 'very smart-looking' annual short story series
A local dignitary is hosting a lavish party at his country house on the outskirts of Cali, Colombia. He observes from afar as his staff prepare the grounds to his liking - the maids carefully arrange the lawn furniture, the chefs plate the oysters and caviar with precision, and the security guards stand poised. Everything is ready when his guests begin to arrive. But, as the sun begins to go down, a sense of unease hangs over the cheerful revelry. His daughter is missing, the resident spider monkey is threatening chaos, and, unbeknownst to our host, a group of nefarious uninvited guests closely watch his every move.
An eerily atmospheric story, published in a special limited edition by Daunt Books.
