Summary

1810. Santiago de Liniers, hero of the Reconquista and penultimate viceroy of the Río de la Plata, is shot by a counterrevolutionary. The platoon led by Domingo French shoots him in a lost spot between Córdoba and Santa Fe, which they call Cabeza de Tigre. 1816. Cayetano Grimau y Gálvez faces the most important mission of his life: he must deliver the recently signed Acts of Independence in Buenos Aires in Tucumán. The deadline is peremptory: fifteen days to travel those thousand kilometers on horseback. The urgent cavalcade of the Independence chasqui goes wrong. A group intercepts him in a field between Córdoba and Santa Fe. There, in Cabeza de Tigre, the Actas are stolen, which are lost forever. 1976. Seven Montonero militants are killed in cold blood by a task force of the dictatorship. The event occurs in Los Surgentes, a town formerly known as Cabeza de Tigre. Marcos Rosenzvaig masterfully links these three facts and recreates them fictionally weaving with them a plot that combines suspense, adventure and reflection on the defeats of history.
