2Una historia estremecedora en la que la violencia no tiene límites, una narración coral con personajes inolvidables, un drama dominado por las pasiones humanas más oscuras: la traición, la avaricia, la corrupción, el miedo y la desesperación.

Ricardo Piglia hace una reconstrucción ficcionada y caleidoscópica de un atraco que tuvo lugar en 1965 en la provincia de Buenos Aires. Una banda criminal, conchabada con policías y políticos corruptos, prepara el asalto a un furgón que contiene un botín millonario. Tras el golpe, abandonan a sus cómplices y huyen al norte con el dinero. Pero la ley, los medios de comunicación y los traicionados los perseguirán hasta el asedio último y sangriento en un edificio de Montevideo. Reseña: Un relato criminal frenético. The Times Literary Supplement ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A hair-raising story in which violence has no limits, a choral tale with unforgettable characters, a drama dominated by the darkest human passions: betrayal, greed, corruption, fear, and desperation.

Ricardo Piglia creates a fictional and kaleidoscopic reconstruction of a robbery that took place in 1965 in the province of Buenos Aires. A criminal gang, in cahoots with corrupt police and politicians, prepares an assault on a truck containing a small fortune. After the hit, they abandon their accomplices and flee to the north with the money. But the law, the media, and the ones they betrayed will follow them until the final, bloody siege in a building in Montevideo. Summary: "A frenetic crime tale." -The Times Literary Supplement
