The needle in the haystack Ernesto Mallo, who signs the beginning of a detective series (promising). This country eventful past and tormented attracts and fascinates us. And he's still talking about the dictatorship of 70-80 years and stolen babies. On this historical backdrop, largentin Ernesto Mallo we painted a thriller rather well done, in good black tones, it goes without saying. On a cold winter morning, the Commissioner is called Perro Lascano on waste ground for two bodies, two subversives, the head riddled with bullets (we later learn why and militias appear to waste their ammunition) so far nothing new under Argentine sun, this is the routine of expeditious justice of this police state.
