From the first paragraph of Love in Time of Cholera, Gabriel García Márquez gives this book a name for its posterity: "It was inevitable: the smell of bitter almonds always reminded him of the destiny of the opposed love relationships". On several occasions the work of García Márquez has been analyzed from multiple disciplines and theoretical frameworks for decades, however, this book glances at how exceptional and suggestive it is when literature and forensic medicine converge. The work includes the analysis of twenty-five Nobel Prize works with variations or repetitions in some of them. The author delves into the cases with legal medicine criteria and analyzes characters and motivations that led them to carry out their crimes. Thus, this book constitutes an attractive and innovative fusion between legal medicine and literature.
