Summary:
"The attempted robbery of an armoured car in the back streets of Montevideo is a miserable failure. But it turns out [to] be a lucky break for the intrepid Ursula Lopez who manages to snatch all the loot, more hindered than helped by her faint-hearted and reluctant companion Diego. Only now, the wannabe robbers are hot on her heels. As are the police. And Ursula's sister. But the irresistible Ursula turns out to be enormously talented when it comes to criminal undertakings, and given the hilarious ineptitude of those in pursuit, she might just pull it off. A spirited and very funny thriller, but also a touching love letter to Montevideo, viscerally exposed in light and darkness, and a tribute to the ingenuity and spirit of women which can hardly be countered, especially not by men"--Back cover.
