Retired legal counsellor Benjamin Esposito is about to start his first novel: an account of the brutal murder of a young woman in the flower of her life and the investigation that followed it. Telling us the story takes us back to the ‘Dirty War’ period in Argentina, where not only justice was hard to find, but even when it was found it could be subverted. On this note flows Esposito’s tale, which reminisces not only about the unfulfilled attempts to assist a grieving widower with fair justice, but also the unfulfilled love for his superior. Haunted by the events of the past, an ageing Esposito must thus try and search his mind, to seek the ghosts of his past so that he can now find an ending of these two stories for his novel.
