Bajo el ardiente sol piurano, cuelga de un árbol el cadáver cruelmente torturado de un joven avionero. El teniente Silva y el guardia Lituma emprenden la búsqueda del asesino. Con gran destreza, Mario Vargas Llosa crea una intensa novela policial cuyo atractivo no se agota en la solución del crimen. Aunque las pistas pronto apuntan en una dirección precisa, el interés en la obra, en vez de disminuir, se acrecienta. Y es que una particular tensión recorre la historia, creando una atmósfera irreal que deslumbra y atrapa al alector. Como en un espejismo, los personajes irán emergiendo con vida propia de la mano del narrador.
