Book Synopsis



La aparición de un misterioso manuscrito reabre un caso cerrado hace décadas. El culpable está cerca, mucho más de lo que pensamos.

El fervor religioso, el arte surrealista y la literatura se dan la mano hasta límites insospechados en este debut sorprendente.

Un asesino utiliza los cadáveres de sus víctimas para realizar montajes reales, a escala natural, de pinturas surrealistas. Esta serie de brutales asesinatos, que quedaron sin resolver hace veinticinco años, vuelven a la luz al aparecer una hipótesis que nadie tuvo en cuenta. La nueva teoría se despliega en un manuscrito que aparece en las oficinas centrales del Poder Judicial. Nadie sabe quién lo escribió, pero la historia que relata parece la única que puede explicar por qué desaparecieron Irene García Valenzuela, principal sospechosa, y la agente Ana María González Fo, y por qué, de hecho, sus cuerpos jamás podrán encontrarse. En este debut sorprendente, el fervor religioso, el arte y la literatura se dan la mano hasta límites insospechados.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The appearance of a mysterious manuscript reopens a case closed decades ago. The culprit is near, nearer than we think.

In this striking debut, religious fervor, surrealist art, and literature go hand in hand and reach unimaginable limits.

A killer used the bodies of his victims to create full-scale realistic montages of surrealist paintings. This series of brutal murders, which went unsolved for twenty-five years, come to light again when a hypothesis no one had considered before emerges. The new theory unfolds in a manuscript that turns up at the judiciary office. No one knows who wrote it, but this story seems to be the only explanation as to why Irene Garcia Valenzuela, their prime suspect, and agent Ana Maria Gonzalez Fo disappeared, and why, in fact, their bodies will never be found. In this striking debut, religious fervor, art, and literature go hand in hand and reach unimaginable limits.
