Death in the Andes
A corporal and his adjutant hold a post at a highland road camp where three men have vanished, watched by everybody and helped by nobody, while Shining Path columns run trials in the villages below and a cantina keeper's wife talks about the mountain spirits that require feeding. The adjutant's letters about a girl in Piura run alongside the interrogations. Political terror and Andean myth put inside the same frame.
