«¿Quién mató a Palomino Molero?» is the crime novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Alfaguara in hardcover (187 pages, in Spanish).
In a town in northern Peru, the murder of a young man sets off an investigation that soon points towards the military establishment. Through the work of a corporal and a lieutenant, the plot reveals a web of prejudice, abuse and silence that upholds the social order. More than the resolution of the crime, what matters is the portrait of a country marked by inequality and impunity.
Work originally published in 1986 and included in the Biblioteca Vargas Llosa collection from Alfaguara. Spanish-language edition of 187 pages.
Suitable for readers who want to approach Vargas Llosa's crime fiction and a short story with social background, without needing to have read other works by the author beforehand.
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".
