![]() ![]() Upon his return to Ayacucho he stubbornly continues with the investigation when he finds out that anyone who talks with him dies. The obsessively bureaucra tic civil servant will have to get use to the irregular procedures of the local police and the military authorities. As a reward Felix Chacaltana Saldivar is sent to a remote village to monitor the presidential elections where the nonexistent terrorist group still operates. Therefore the case is close with an empty report. But this hypothesis doesn’t fit the official version: the terrorist group has been defeated and no longer exists. The brutality of the crime suggests the possible implication of the terrorist group Shinning Path. The main character Associated District Prosecutor Felix Chacaltana Saldivar, an unambitious, hapless, by-the-book civil servant, has to face a murder investigation, a burned corpse that has been found mutilated. The action in Red April-Pantheon (2009)- takes place in Ayacucho (Peru) in the year 2000 between Ash Wednesday and Eastern Sunday.
