Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is a parallel reading of two Colombian novels: Rosario Tijeras (1999) by Jorge Franco Ramos and Era lunes cuando cayó del cielo (2008) by Juan Diego Mejía. The second one, much less known and also much less successful artistically, to a certain degree can be read as an alternative version of Rosario Tijeras. At the same time, emphasizing the parallelisms and analogies between both female protagonists, we propose a reflection concerning the development of the sicaresca novel in Colombia.
