The murder of an Italian doctor in Montevideo in 1871 reveals through the judicial file the circumstances of his death when he was fulfilling his duty to assist a patient. The author of the book is a Uruguayan magistrate who unravels some facts of the crime and highlights the inadequacies of the judicial investigation of the time. The link between the crime and shady dealings in the construction of the Italian Hospital in the Uruguayan capital and the dubious and unexplained participation of the consul of the Kingdom of Italy. Also included is the description of the process, the last hours of those sentenced to death and their execution during a public spectacle.
