Detective Story - Softcover
Antonio Martens was a torturer for the secret police of a defunct dictatorship. Now in prison, he is given writing materials, and he has to recount his involvement in the surveillance, torture, and assassination of Federigo and Enrique Salinas, a father and son whose principled opposition to the regime left them vulnerable to the secret police.
