I recommend the book Rosario Tijeras by Jorge Franco. It's about a girl who gets raped in Medellín, Colombia in the 90's. As payback she cuts the balls of her rapist with scissors and grows up to be a hitwoman and a prostitute. It's a critique to Colombian society in the 90's due to the absurd amounts of violence. The book has everything. Action, a love triangle, a woman doomed by her circumstances. It reads like a movie, really.
