A new case
for Superintendent Lascano
A novel by
Ernesto Mallo
The long
awaited third instalment in the Superintendent Lascano series. What the most corrupt
policemen in Buenos Aires couldn't do through intimidation or murder attempts,
they've finally managed through bureaucracy: the ‘dog' in their ranks has been
forced to retire. But, even in his retirement, trouble finds Superintendent Lascano. A
mysterious, wealthy relative turns up with an urgent case: to find a
granddaughter who disappeared years ago after her mother was murdered. The
mission takes Lascano to Mar del Plata, a seaside town known as ‘the happy
city', where he gets enmeshed in the sordid world of people trafficking and
prostitution, the most brazen form of slavery in the 21st Century.
Unarmed and without an institution to back him up, Lascano is just one man up
against a network of murderers, girl-hunters, corrupt politicians and criminal
policemen. It will be a risky investigation that will bring to light things
many people would rather were kept quiet.
The plot is based on real information provided to the author by organizations campaigning to rescue women who are subjected to sexual slavery or tricked into it from other countries, uncovering prostitution rackets filled with sinister drug dealers and criminals in hiding.
This is a page-turning, breathless read about a great social drama - and extremely lucrative business - of the 21st Century.
