SynopsisIn "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.
