Caza mayor

(Major Hunting)

Pierino Baldacci, an Italian immigrant, travels around Argentina selling clothes. He is only distracted in the face of a good hunt. The rest of the time he is a common man who frequents a bar where they talk about soccer, women, and car racing. Although he also does something else. Pierino Baldacci is a Nazi hunter.
In this detective story, the author, Javier Chiabrando, combines fiction and history of a not-so-distant Argentina, where Nazis like Eichmann lived peacefully until a small detail, a coincidence, dragged them to the scaffold.

“Caza mayor presents itself as a solid detective story that catches the reader and does not let them down. Javier Chiabrando appears as someone who knows about the art of writing, an expert in narrative techniques, and a skillful creator of characters.”
