On the verge of being discovered, he murdered his wife, his children and his parents and attempted suicide. Drawing on the trial, testimonies and letters, the book explores the mind of someone who invented his own life.
The French original, L'adversaire, was published in 2000; this Spanish edition is a translation by Jaime Zulaika.
