[BookFilter] Help me find the name/author of this short story. The story is about a president and his ministers. When a minister commits a mistake he gets his head chopped off. The sign one has commited a (fatal) mistake is because the president sends you a box for your head. Depending on the status and importance of the minister is the magnificence of the boxes.

The story might have been written in spanish. I want this book/story for my girlfriend so I can't ask for more details.

You could try The Book Sleuth. They're pretty good at this type of thing.
