The Buenos Aires Quintet

When Pepe Carvalho`s uncle asks him to find his son, Raul, in Buenos Aires, Pepe is reluctant. All he knows about Argentina is `tango, Maradona, and the disappeared` and he has no desire to find out more. But family is family and soon Carvalho is in Buenos Aires, getting more caught up in Argentina`s troubled past than is good for anybody. As he gets nearer to finding Raul, he begins to realise the full impact of the traumas caused by a military junta who went so far as to kidnap the children of the political activists they tortured. A few excellent tangos, bottles of Mendoza Cabernet Sauvignon and a sexy semiotician are no compensation for the savage brutality Carvalho experiences in his attempt to come to grips with Argentina`s recent history.
