The race for the parliamentary elections of March 1879 rages on. Ciriaco Contreras, alongside Luis Humberto Blest Gana, Eulogio Arrivillaga, and the innkeeper Manuela Murillo—who has now joined the ranks—are already plotting their next heist: to infiltrate the hacienda of a wealthy wheat tycoon. Their target is a hefty donation from the businessmen of the Maule Province to the Conservative Party, set to be delivered during a traditional country festival known as the Fiesta del Chancho Muerto. Meanwhile, El Indio is hot on Ciriaco’s trail, determined to ensure that this time, he stays dead.
