Synopsis

In Who Killed Palomino Molero, Mario Vargas Llosa turned to detective fiction. The novel is set on an air force base in Peru, where a young airman is found tortured and murdered. An entertaining and brilliantly plotted mystery, this book also takes up one of Vargas Llosa's great themes: despair at how difficult it is to be an honest man in a society based on a corruption of motives and feelings.

Review:

"Vargas Llosa's fiction is distinguished by his wit, his taste for irony and his disposition to engage the complexities of existence with an insight that distains glib moralizing or ideological rigor." --Robert Stone, "The New York Times Book Review"
