SYNOPSIS

The massacre of a family of farm labourers in Carreu in 1943 shakes the local community and surrounding villages of this corner of Pallars Jussà, Catalonia. But news of the mass murder did not get much further. In an age when it was necessary to offer an image of Spain as a peaceful paradise, censorship silences the press. Seventy years later, Pep Coll investigates the secrets of that terrible event that marked his childhood in the small mountain town of Pessonada. At first glance, the story is very similar to Truman Capote's famous account of the killing in Kansas, but the consequences of the Pillars murder were diametrically opposed to those portrayed in In Cold Blood: the press ignored the case, and Franco's judiciary either was unable or had no interest in solving it. Based on the stories of the real-life characters involved in the case, Pep Coll offers an exceptionally convincing and absorbing novel.
