Who Killed Palomino Molero? (Spanish: ¿Quién mató a Palomino Molero?) is a 1986 novel by Peruvian novelist Mario Vargas Llosa.[1]
The book begins with the discovery of the brutally murdered body of a young recruit, Palomino Molero, from a nearby military base in northern Peru. Vargas Llosa uses the structure of a murder mystery to examine the darker side of human nature, corruption, and class prejudice in Peru of the 1950s.
Death in the Andes follows the character of policeman Lituma.
