Synopsis "Needle in a Haystack (in English)"
"This is not simply a triumph of style; it is both a reflection on a time of bloodshed and a raw vision of human misery."--Guillermo Saccomanno, winner of the Argentine National Literature Prize"This man knows. He knows about guns, knows about women, knows about dead bodies. . . . But above all he knows how to narrate."--Ana María Shua, author of El peso de la tentaciónSuperintendent Lascano is a detective working under the shadow of military rule in Buenos Aires in the late 1970s. Sent to investigate a double murder, he arrives at the crime scene to find three bodies. Two are clearly the work of the Junta's death squads, murders he is forced to ignore; the other one seems different.The trail leads Lascano through a decadent Argentina, a country poisoned to its core by the tyranny of the regime. The third corpse turns out to be that of Biterman, moneylender and Auschwitz survivor. When Lascano digs too deep, he must confront Giribaldi, an army major, quick to help old friends but ruthless in dealing with dissenters such as Eva, the young militant with whom Lascano is falling in love.Born in 1948, Ernesto Mallo is a published essayist, newspaper columnist, screenwriter, and playwright. He is a former anti-Junta militant who was pursued by the dictatorship. Needle in a Hay Stack is his first novel and the first in a trilogy with superintendent Lascano. The first two are being made into films.
