  • Overview

    En el Buenos Aires del siglo XIX, un macabro acontecimiento sacude a la alta sociedad.

    Un thriller vibrante que narra el nacimiento del crimen organizado en Argentina.

    Buenos Aires, 1880. Son tiempos de prosperidad en la capital argentina: las familias adineradas viven en fastuosos palacetes, derrochan en lujos y disfrutan de una vibrante vida social. Sin embargo, un terrible suceso hace temblar los cimientos de la clase emergente: el robo del cadáver de doña Inés Dorrego, una de las mujeres más ricas y respetadas del país.

    Tras el secuestro se esconde un grupo de inmigrantes europeos, hombres en busca de fortuna que fundan una sociedad secreta, una especie de hermandad criminal. Son Los Caballeros de la Noche. El jefe de policía de la ciudad, Marcos Paz, iniciará una persecución para desenmascarar a los culpables y recuperar el cadáver de la matriarca.

    ¿Cuál es el origen del hampa en Argentina? ¿Cómo llegan un noble belga y un revolucionario español a colaborar en un crimen? Y, por encima de todo: ¿se puede condenar el secuestro de un cuerpo sin vida?

    Con la precisión de un historiador y el pulso de los grandes narradores, Daniel Balmaceda reconstruye uno de los crímenes más delirantes de la historia de Argentina. Una intriga que se desliza entre la opulencia, las grandes fiestas y los secretos de la clase alta.

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    In 19th-century Buenos Aires, a macabre event shakes high society.

    An exciting thriller that chronicles the birth of organized crime in Argentina.

    Buenos Aires, 1880. These are prosperous times in the Argentine capital: wealthy families live in lavish mansions, splurge on luxuries, and enjoy a vibrant social life. However, a terrible event shakes the foundations of the emerging class: the theft of the corpse of Doña Inés Dorrego, one of the wealthiest and most respected women in the country.

    Behind the kidnapping lies a group of European immigrants, men in search of fortune who found a secret society, a kind of criminal brotherhood. They are the Knights of the Night. The city’s police chief, Marcos Paz, will begin a manhunt to unmask the culprits and recover the matriarch’s body.
    What is the origin of the underworld in Argentina? How did a Belgian nobleman and a Spanish revolutionary come to collaborate in a crime? And above all: can the kidnapping of a dead body be condemned?

    With the precision of a historian and the skill of a great storyteller, Daniel Balmaceda reconstructs one of the most outrageous crimes in Argentine history. An intrigue that slips between opulence, grand parties, and the secrets of the upper class.
