Summary:
One of Argentina's most innovative writers captures the voice of a man who in 1982 murdered four taxi drivers without any apparent motive, using interviews, forensic documents, and newspaper clippings to bring his story to life.
Over the course of one week in September 1982, the bodies of four taxi drivers were found in Buenos Aires. Each murder was carried out with the same cold precision. The assailant: a nineteen-year-old boy, odd and taciturn, who gave the impression of being completely sane. More than thirty years later, Busqued began visiting Ricardo Melogno in prison. His book is at once hypnotic and unnerving, constructed from forensic documents, newspaper clippings, and interviews with Melogno himself. Busqued allows Melogno to describe his way of retreating from the world and to explain his crimes as best he can. The focus slowly shifts from the crimes themselves, to Melogno's mistreatment and mis-diagnosis while in prison, to his current fate: incarcerated in perpetuity despite having served his full sentence.
