Translated by Clifford E. Landers
You may know someone like Maiquel: someone with a short fuse, a dubious habit or two perhaps, but basically decent.He's just suggestible, prey to whim.See how Maiquel in a mad moment loses his temper and kills someone-and gets away with it.Then a toothache and a random visit to the dentist provide the opportunity for another murder, this time for profit.Follow Maiquel on his path of good intentions, indecision and then escalating violence.Observe his adoration yet misuse of women, his capitulation of goading friends in high places, his ironic rise in social esteem and his career success as he sinks into moral depravity.
