Reviews
International Praise for Julia Navarro's Story of a Sociopath "Julia Navarro is one of the finest authors in Spanish literature." -- La Vanguardia (Barcelona) "Dissects the ambition, greed, and selfishness of human beings." -- El Correo  (Bilbao) "[Navarro] aims high. Perhaps that's why she launched her book amongst skyscrapers. Story of Sociopath is more than a change of register--it's a dissection of evil." -- La Razón (Madrid) "[Navarro] dances through this narrative." -- El Pueblo Vasco  (Vizcaya) "Like great historians-turned-writers, this bestselling Spanish-language dame does not wince when it comes to surprising the reader." -- ABC  (Madrid) "Julia Navarro takes a turn to the dark side [in] a novel revolving around the psychology of its characters." -- El Mundo  (Madrid)

Synopsis
I'm scum. Yes, I always have been.... I know what I did, and what I should have done. Thomas Spencer is a man who knows how to get what he wants, though his poor health and aging looks are the price he's had to pay. He wears these features proudly, like scars from the battles that propelled him to the top in his glamorous career as a publicist and media maven. But lately, after several cardiac episodes, he senses that his time in the sun is dwindling. In the solitude of his luxurious Brooklyn apartment, he begins to look back on the convoluted trajectory his life has taken. What follows is a spellbinding psychological narrative that takes us through the world of international media and politics from the 1990s to the present, brilliantly probing the workings of a complex, destructive personality whose greatest satisfaction is to shatter the happiness of others. As shameless as it is electrifying, Story of a Scoundrel illuminates the true nature of power through the mind of a master psychological manipulator., I'm scum. Yes, I always have been. . . . I know what I did, and what I should have done. A spellbinding and provocative psychological thriller that shows just how far a man will go to win the most enduring and ruthless of games: the game of power. Raised in the upper echelons of elite New York society, Thomas Spencer has never wanted for much. But much is hardly enough for a man whose greatest satisfaction lies in shattering the happiness of others. Thomas, the black sheep of his family, harbors only resentment toward those closest to him for what they have more of: good looks, good cheer, good social graces. But what Thomas may lack in charm, he makes up for in cunning. And it is this that will serve him best when he trades in his glittering world of privilege for a chance to claw his way to the top--on his own terms, and at any cost. As Thomas achieves fame and success as an ad man, he becomes ever more deeply entrenched in an insidious underworld of media, politics, and women, and an astonishing picture emerges of a complex, destructive personality who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Shameless and electrifying, Story of a Sociopath illuminates the true nature of power through the mind of a master psychological manipulator.
