If God takes my life, it recounts the investigation of commissioner Wenceslao Pérez Chanán into a brutally murdered family and the relationship with the event that occurred in the sporting match between Guatemala and Costa Rica at the Doroteo Guamuch Flores Stadium in 1996. Francisco Alejandro Méndez constantly oscillates between the parodic and the strictly police, in a delicate balance within an agile and light narrative structure. The result is a novel that is read with pleasure and forces us to go to the end. Rodrigo Soto
