Emboscada

Ambush delves into a little-explored area of the life and work of the author of Operation Massacre: his final moments, the trap that cornered him forever, and the uncertain fate of the personal papers that were taken from him by the military. With a structure that engages in dialogue with the detective genre that so fascinated Rodolfo Walsh, the book unfolds a rigorous investigation narrated in a non-fiction key. Clues are skillfully scattered and gradually rearranged throughout the narrative, leading to an unprecedented revelation.

Facundo Pastor assumes here the role of a true literary detective, writing with the determination of someone who refuses to abandon the search. Perhaps that is the best way to keep the memory of Rodolfo Walsh alive.
