«Lituma dans les Andes» is the novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Gallimard in 1996 in paperback (315 pages, in French).
In a mining camp in the Andes, Corporal Lituma and his deputy Tomás live under the threat of Shining Path while investigating inexplicable disappearances. The novel interweaves that intrigue with Andean folklore, superstition and ancestral violence, and paints a portrait of contemporary Peru with touches of magical realism.

For readers of literary fiction, fans of Vargas Llosa and enthusiasts of mystery novels with an Andean setting.
Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa, 1st Marquess of Vargas Llosa was a Peruvian novelist, journalist, essayist, and politician. Vargas Llosa was one of the most significant Latin American novelists and essayists and one of the leading writers of his generation. Some critics consider him to have had a more substantial international impact and worldwide audience than any other writer of the Latin American Boom. In 2010, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature for "his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat".
