In 1943, a family of farmers was brutally murdered in Carreu, an event that shocked the neighboring villages of Pallars Jussà. The news of this multiple crime did not transcend beyond the region. Seventy years later, Pep Coll delves into the investigation of the secrets surrounding these terrifying events, which marked his childhood in Pessonada. This story, similar to the famous Kansas massacre novelized by Truman Capote, had opposite consequences: the crimes of Pallars were forgotten by the press and despised by a Francoist justice system that did not know or did not want to solve the case. The novel has been awarded with the Premi de la Crítica de narrativa catalana 2014 and the Premi Crexells 2014.
