The Devil Who Killed the Devil

By: Ehms, Paulo

Before he was Chico Diabo, he was Francisco.

Raised on the cold plains of the Province of S o Pedro, among frost, horses, and a violence he never sought but never fled, Jos Francisco Lacerda learned early that some decisions last only an instant - and remain for a lifetime.

When the Paraguayan War tears him from the Province and from Isabel, Francisco leaves with a promise to return. Through years of combat, he crosses rivers, fortresses, ruined cities, and fields covered with the dead. He becomes a soldier, then a corporal, and earns among the men a name that has followed him since youth: Chico Diabo.

As Francisco advances, Solano L pez leads what remains of Paraguay deeper into a war already lost. Elisa Lynch stays beside him to the end. One Francisco flees. The other follows his trail. The distance between them narrows every day.

At Cerro Cor , the pursuit finally ends. The war ends. The legend begins.
