In the political turmoil of 1956 Argentina, months after a military coup, a dozen men are rounded up from a house and secretly executed by police. The incident is officially buried, dismissed as a footnote in the suppression of a rebellion. Six months later, journalist Rodolfo Walsh is playing chess in a café when he hears a whispered, unbelievable rumor: "One of the executed men is alive." This single sentence launches him on a perilous investigation that will change the course of his life and create a new form of literature.

Driven by the need to uncover the truth, Walsh goes underground, seeking out the hidden survivors and the victims' families to reconstruct the events of the brutal night. In a time of state-sponsored terror, where speaking out means risking everything, he meticulously pieces together a story the government tried to erase. This book is not just the chronicle of a massacre; it is the story of a landmark investigation that defied a dictatorship and established the nonfiction novel as a powerful tool for justice. It is a chilling, factual account of a quest for truth against overwhelming odds.
