Page 427 - Two Santa Theresa patrol cars drove up, the police knocked, Llanos came to the door, the police beat him to the ground without a word, handcuffed him, and took him to the station, where they tried to stick him with the murder of the woman on Calle Alondra, or at least of the girl they'd found at the new city dump, but it wouldn't work, Silvana Pérez himself was his alibi, since he'd been with her on the dates in question, strutting around Colonia Carranza's ramshackle park, where there'd been a carnival, and even Silvana's relatives had seen the two of them together. As far as nights were concerned, until barely a week ago he's spent them on the night shift at the maquiladora and his fellow workers could vouch for him.
