- Summary:
- "1978, Lima. Todo Perú está pendiente de los partidos de la selección de fútbol en el Mundial de Argentina, y Félix Chacaltana, un joven funcionario del Palacio de Justicia, investiga una enrevesada trama con niños robados que implica a las dictaduras latinoamericanas y a los insurgentes de esos países. Un thriller político realizado con ingenio y oficio, protagonizado por el personaje principal de Abril rojo, y en el que Roncagliolo construye una inquietante obra por la que desfilan el fútbol, el secuestro de niños y el salvajismo de la dictadura Argentina"--Page 4 of cover.
