A bold new novel about how art became politics and politics became crime, from one of Granta's Best Young Spanish-Language Novelists Pinerolo, Italy, April 1945.

What did he believe in? Why, shortly before his death, did he save a man who could have killed him? Where is his lost work? And what does any of this have to do with a teenager in contemporary Milan involved in a violent confrontation with the police?
