Félix Chacaltana Saldívar, a diligent and rule-abiding prosecutor residing in a remote town situated six hundred kilometers from Lima, has led a life devoid of remarkable events. However, his routine is abruptly disrupted when a charred and mutilated body, unearthed during Carnival, signals the resurgence of a serial killer. In an unexpected turn of events, Saldívar finds himself at the helm of the investigation. As he delves deeper into the case, he is compelled to confront the profound impact that death has on individuals and society.

The priest adjusted a cross hanging on the wall. It was a black cross without the image of Christ. Just a black cross on a grey surface. The prosecutor did not want to think about the cross burned into the forehead of the corpse. He was too busy trying to figure out who the killer was. The victim had been killed in a similar way to the previous victims, with the same type of weapon and in the same location. The only difference was that this time the victim was a woman.

The prosecutor interviewed the victim's family and friends, but they were all too distraught to provide any useful information. He also searched the victim's apartment, but there was no sign of a struggle or any other indication of what had happened. The prosecutor was beginning to feel like he was hitting a dead end.

One day, the prosecutor received a call from a witness who claimed to have seen the killer. The witness was a young woman who had been walking by the victim's apartment when she saw a man fleeing the scene. The man was wearing a dark hooded jacket and carrying a large knife. The witness was able to give a detailed description of the killer, and she also provided a map of the area where the crime had occurred.

The prosecutor immediately set out to investigate the witness's claim. He went to the area where the crime had occurred and searched the area thoroughly. He found a small abandoned warehouse that matched the description of the witness's location. The prosecutor called in a team of forensic experts to examine the warehouse.

The forensic experts found a large amount of blood and tissue evidence inside the warehouse. They also found a weapon that matched the description of the killer's weapon. The prosecutor was able to identify the killer as a man named Juan Carlos. Juan Carlos had a history of violent behavior and had been arrested several times for assault and battery.

Juan Carlos was arrested and charged with the murder of the victim. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The prosecutor was pleased with the outcome of the case, but he was also haunted by the thought of what had happened to the victim. The victim had been a young woman who had her whole life ahead of her, and she had been killed in a senseless act of violence.

The prosecutor knew that he had done everything he could to bring the killer to justice, but he also knew that there would always be more victims. He knew that the fight against crime was a never-ending battle, and that he would have to continue to work hard to ensure that the streets were safe for everyone.
