Winner of the 2017 Cervantes Prize, this fascinating novel by Sergio Ramírez immerses us in the Central American society of the 1930s. Through a complex detective plot based on real events, the work uses a variety of documents, testimonies, and journalistic articles to reconstruct a series of mysterious poisonings in León, Nicaragua. It is a vivid and critical portrait of power, political intrigue, and justice in an era marked by the shadow of dictatorship. The story follows young judge Mariano Fiallos, who attempts to uncover the truth behind the deaths surrounding law student Oliverio Castañeda. With masterful narrative, Ramírez explores the human condition, social prejudices, and the struggle for integrity in an environment where crime and injustice are intertwined, offering a profound read that transcends the detective genre.
