ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

CAN ONE PITY A MONSTER?

In the latest Juan Urbano case, the dark years of the Franco and Argentine dictatorships cast their shadow over today's Spain.

Buenos Aires, 1987: Mysterious vandals break into the tomb of General Juan Per n and steal his hands. Speculation about their motive runs the gamut from esoteric to political and purely financial motives, but the enigma remains unsolved: who desecrated the corpse, and why?

Madrid, 2024: A new Historical Memory Law opens the possibility of prosecuting members of the Franco regime for their crimes. Professor-detective Juan Urbano is tasked with finding The Electrician, one of the most feared torturers of the times, who blackmailed and extorted detainees and their families.

Urbano's research takes him from Per n's former residence in Spain, where Nazis rubbed shoulders with Freemasons and rumored black magic rituals took place with Evita's mummified corpse, to the Torremolinos of the 1970, a mix of beach shacks and Hollywood stars, as well as on side trips to the fiscal havens where many of the dictators' lackeys stashed their ill-gotten gains.

Who founded the Triple A? Why were some of its militants active in Spain; for example, in the 23-F coup attempt? What happened to Isabelita, Per n's third wife? Where is the fortune of the three-time Argentine president hidden? In a labyrinth that becomes ever-more dangerous, all these questions lead to an overarching final dilemma: Is it possible to feel pity for someone who committed monstruous acts?
