It is a quasi-historical novel divided into 4 parts. In Spain in the nineteenth century, a royal tax collector and his escort are murdered. We stop the supposed culprits, are judged on the go and then executes them. I had difficulty reading this book because, in various parts, it opens through short chapters on characters that can not reasonably fit into a frame because we do have very rudimentarily through 4th coverage. The effort to do to get into the plot was too important to me that, in general, seeks novels whose understanding comes naturally. Those who love a way to write maverick may like this type of novel, but it's not my case. So I recommend to those who, even if they look for a plot, do not want to rack their brains to reconstruct a puzzle or wandering in a maze.
