The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz

Francisco Galván, a wealthy architect, nurtures a singular, macabre ambition: to become a celebrated serial killer of women. He meticulously plots his crimes, drafting lists of victims and rehearsing his methods with theatrical precision. Yet fate conspires against him at every turn; his intended targets perish through bizarre accidents before he can strike. Frustrated and bewildered, Francisco stumbles through a series of increasingly absurd misadventures, where his murderous aspirations are constantly thwarted by a universe that seems bent on turning his grand design into a cosmic joke.
