Mojica dies in the pool at Las Palmas in the Termas del Arapey from a myocardial infarction. The death of the politician and former Tupamaro guerrilla leader, who was leading the polls for the upcoming presidential elections and was the head of the Popular Movement sector within the Progressive Front, raises serious doubts for the police as to whether it was a natural death, despite the ruling from the Forensic Technical Institute.
Why did the lifeguard from the City Council of Salto, who should have been by the pool, claim that he had to suddenly go to the bathroom during his shift? Why did he state in his testimony that he had been locked in a bathroom for half an hour, a bathroom that didn't even have a lock on the outside? Why would a presidential candidate, who had been given only a 2% chance of having a heart attack in his most recent medical check-up, suffer a heart attack?
Too many questions for the government of Dr. Valdez, from Mojica's own party, to let this slip by. The investigation must be carried out with utmost discretion, but the truth must be uncovered. To achieve that, the investigative duo Goldman and Ielicov, who solved Uruguay's only serial killer case four years earlier, are hired.
Many people would have benefited from Mojica's death before he could reach the presidency, but did anyone dare to expedite the process?
In his second historical noir novel, the author reveals 40 years of a country with a great democratic tradition that, however, suffered a dictatorship (or re-institutionalization, depending on who you ask) that lasted 12 long years. But it wasn't just the state that harmed the people. People also hurt each other.
