"An intensely woven detective story where tension and suspense trap the reader from the first to the last page. In a stage dominated by corruption, where prejudice and disparity constitute a country's social reality, truth becomes a confusing array of images in a hallucinatory game of mirrors. Through an ambiance that dazzles and captures our attention, this novel is a faithful reflection of the character of an era and a denunciation of the excesses of power. -- Publisher's description.
