Summary

Sergio Ramriez transforms the most celebrated criminal trial in Nicaraguan history--the murders in 1933 of three high society women by a Casanova named Castaneda--into an examination of Nicaraguan society on the brink of the first Somosa dictatorship, where passion, money, sex, gossip, political intrigue and judicial corruption all merge
