Summary:

"Ariel necesitaba dinero, y Joseph Hortha lo tenía en exceso. Unidos por la gratitud hacia el fallecido presidente chileno Salvador Allende y la necesidad persistente de saber si el asesinato o el suicidio terminaron con su vida durante el golpe de 1973, los dos hombres se embarcan en una pesquisa que los llevará de Washington DC y Nueva York a Santiago y Valparaíso, y finalmente a Londres. Pero mientras repasan y analizan la lucha política de Salvador Allende, su muerte, la diáspora posterior y los intentos de regresar al país, Ariel y Joseph deben ayudarse mutuamente a explorar la culpa y el trauma por catástrofes personales ocultas en ese mismo pasado, para preguntarse, en esta novela que sondea los límites del genero novelístico, expandiendolos de una manera insospechada y excepcional, que le debemos al mundo, a los demás y a nosotros mismos."--From back cover.

"In this "murder mystery memoir," a Dutch billionaire and Holocaust survivor named Joseph Hortha hires writer "Ariel" to investigate Salvador Allende's mysterious death in the 1973 coup in Chile, in the hopes of discovering whether Allende committed suicide or was murdered. Dorfman takes us along a spectacular journey, from Washington, DC and New York City, to Santiago and Valparaíso, and finally to London. Along the way, we witness a midnight gravedigging scene, are tracked by stealthy stalkers, and interview sources of varying credibility to discover what transpired at La Moneda. Through this gripping investigation, Joseph and Ariel attempt to redeem themselves, as they are both plagued by guilt. While Joseph grapples with how he has made his fortune unwittingly destroying his beloved planet, Ariel is haunted by the fact that his absence at the coup led to the disappearance of his friend. What begins as a puzzling quest unwinds into a fabulous saga about our duties to the world, one another, and ourselves." -- Goodreads.
