Description
Superintendent Lascano is a detective working under the shadow of military rule in Buenos Aires in the late 1970s. He is sent to investigate a double murder, only to find three bodies at the crime scene - two clearly linked to the Junta's death squads and one that seems different. As Lascano delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a trail that leads him through a decadent Argentina poisoned by the tyranny of the regime. His investigation puts him in contact with Eva, a young militant who is also falling for him, but their relationship is complicated by his work and her involvement in the resistance. Ernesto Mallo's first novel, Needle in a Haystack, is a raw vision of human misery set against the backdrop of Argentina's tumultuous past.
