A former policeman, now a Major in the Spanish Republican Army, is sent to Madrid to investigate the circumstances in which legendary anarchist Buenaventura Durruti was killed. Making imaginative and ingenious use of the detective novel as a literary device, Pedro de Paz explores various hypotheses and scenarios that could at least provide us, 70 years on, with believable explanations about the chain of events leading to the death of a truly remarkable man. Also included are numerous photographs of Durruti and his funeral.
