The angelic face of Carlos, a 17-year-old teenager, hides a dark facet of robberies, lies and murders.

Carlitos is a seventeen-year-old youth with movie star swagger, blond curls and a baby face. As a young boy, he coveted other people's things, but it wasn't until his early adolescence that his true calling--to be a thief--manifested itself. When he meets Ramon at his new school, Carlitos is immediately drawn to him and starts showing off to get his attention. Together they will embark on a journey of discoveries, love and crime. Killing is just a random offshoot of the violence, which continues to escalate until Carlitos is finally apprehended. Because of his angelic appearance, the press dubs Carlitos "The Angel of Death." Showered with attention because of his beauty, he becomes an overnight celebrity. Altogether, he is believed to have committed over forty thefts and eleven homicides. Today, after more than forty-six years in jail, Carlos Robledo Puch is the longest- serving prisoner in the history of Argentina.—Dane

17-year-old Carlos has the face of an angel but this masks his criminal activities. He starts with cat burgling and small-time theft then joins a gang and moves onto bigger, more audacious robberies. He also displays a callous disregard for human life and murder comes naturally to him.—grantss
