The curator Croce was one of the protagonists of one of the great novels of Ricardo Piglia, Nocturnal Target. The author rescues the character in these "cases", a succession of police stories that are a tribute to his genre. Playful and virtuous texts. / El comisario Croce era uno de los protagonistas de una de las grandes novelas de Ricardo Piglia, Blanco nocturno. El autor rescata al personaje en estos «casos», una sucesión de relatos policiacos que son un homenaje a un género que Piglia amó como lector, divulgó como editor y practicó como escritor. El meditabundo y astuto Croce se enfrenta aquí al caso de un joven marinero yugoslavo acusado de matar a una prostituta en un cafetín portuario, al misterio de una supuesta película en la que aparecería Eva Perón en una escena pornográfica, a un ladrón de joyas relacionado con el peronismo, a un crimen resuelto con la ayuda de los versos de un cirujano del ejército de Rosas... En estos textos juguetones y virtuosos asoman guiños y referencias a Agatha Christie, Conan Doyle, Chesterton, Poe y también Borges, que amó el género policiaco tanto como Piglia.
