Summary

El retrato de un hombre que todavía conserva la mirada fría y penetrante de aquel muchacho que mató, incluso, a sus dos únicos amigos.

Entre el 15 de marzo de 1971 y el 3 de febrero de 1972, un muchacho de 19 años mató a once personas. Las mató a balazos, por la espalda o mientras dormían. La detención de Carlos Eduardo Robledo Puch, el mayor homicida multiple en la historia del país, conmocionó a la sociedad, que desplazó a segundo plano toda otra noticia para orientar su centro de atención a los entretelones del caso, al tiempo que se hacía eco de los seudónimos con los que la prensa bautizaba a Robledo Puch: monstruo, hiena, gato rojo, diablo con cara de niño, belcebú, ángel negro.

Treinta y seis años después, el periodista Rodolfo Palacios consigue entrevistarlo en prisión y, trabajosamente, logra ganar su confianza. El Ángel Negro es fruto de ese esfuerzo.

Más que una biografía, es la narración atrapante de una vida fugaz y atormentada, el retrato de un hombre que todavía conserva la mirada fría y penetrante de aquel muchacho que mató, incluso, a sus dos únicos amigos. «Rodolfo Palacios se animó a hablar de un asesino que las nuevas generaciones desconocen.

Los chicos saben, a lo sumo, de los tés con masas en lo de Yiya Murano. Nunca escucharon la historia del Ángel Negro, el chico del rizo dorado que mataba por la espalda con una sonrisa. Vale la pena abrir con él esta puerta. » Jorge Lanata

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This is the portrait of a man who still preserves the cold and piercing stare of that boy he killed.

Between March 1971 and February 1972, a 19-year-old young man killed eleven people; he shot them in the back or while they slept. The arrest of Carlos Eduardo Robledo Puch, the largest serial killer in the country's history, shocked the entire population. Its news overshadowed any other news, making the ins and outs of the case the center of everyday attention.

Thirty-six years later, journalist Rodolfo Palacios arranges an interview with him in prison and little by little, manages to gain his trust. Black Angel is the outcome of all his efforts. More than a biography, this is the gripping story of a haste, careless, and tormented life; the portrait of a man who still retains the cold and piercing gaze of that boy he killed along with two of his only friends.

"It intrigued Rodolfo Palacios to speak about a killer that many new generations knew nothing about. They never heard the story of the Black Angel, a boy with blonde curls who with a smile on his face would kill his victims from the back. With this great piece, it is worth learning about this story." –Jorge Lanata
