  1. The cusp of Argentina’s Dirty War. The magnate, Fausto Tamerlan, has been kidnapped by guerrillas, who as part of their ransom demands have stipulated the placement of a bust of Eva Peron in all ninety- two offices of Argentina’s leading construction company, Tamerlan & Sons. Tamerlan’s head of procurement, Ernesto Marrone is the man tasked with the job, but he soon finds out that his is a mission for executives of a heroic disposition. His subsequent picaresque journey plunges him into a world of occupied factories, the slums of Buenos Aires and the utopian Evita City. Equipped with his trusty copy of Don Quixote, The Executive-Errant Marrone is a modern knight who finds himself forced to penetrate the ultimate Argentinian mystery: Eva Peron . that maid of myth and legend whom we know as Evita. Carlos Gamerro’s caustic and utterly original novel is a shattered window onto Argentina’s recent past.
