+ Want to read

When Pepe Carvalho's uncle asks him to find his son Raul in Buenos Aires, Pepe is reluctant. All he knows about Argentina is "tango, Maradona, and the disappeared," and he has no desire to find out more. But family is family, and soon Carvalho is in Buenos Aires, getting more caught up in Argentina's troubled past than is good for anybody.
