Fago

Marisa Mainar has never believed that her brother is the killer of Fago, a village of 30 inhabitants in the Huesca Pyrenees. In January 2007, the mayor of Fago was found dead. All the neighbors are suspicious. Many considered him a tyrant. Santiago Mainar is finally accused, an idealistic rancher who immediately pleads guilty "to leaving the other neighbors alone". During these five years Carles Porta has maintained a close relationship with the Mainar family. He has made more than 60 visits to prison and has spoken hundreds of times with his older sister. The day the trial began, while on the street there was a cloud of 190 journalists looking for the photo, he was the only one living that drama alongside the family. Fago is the vivid, close and revealing portrait of a man accused of murder. But above all, it is the story of a woman who decides to love her brother and defend his innocence against everything and everyone, even against himself. Porta manages to instill in the reader a deep respect for Marisa's suffering and questions the role of police officers, judges, lawyers and journalists in a case where the "crusher" crushed the Mainar family from the first moment.
