  • "Three years have passed since Gustavo, a renowned psycholinguist, last spoke to his closest friend, Daniel, who has been interned in a psychiatric ward for murdering his fiancée. When Daniel unexpectedly calls to confess the truth behind the crime, Gustavo's long buried fraternal loyalty resurfaces and draws him into the center of a quixotic, unconventional investigation through an underground network of antiquarian dealers. While Daniel reveals his unsettling story using fragments of fables, novels, and historical allusions, Gustavo begins to retrace the past for clues: from their early college days exploring dust-filled libraries and exotic brothels to Daniel's intimate attachment to his sickly younger sister and his dealings as a book collector. As the circumstances grow increasingly macabre and intricate with every turn, Gustavo is forced to deduce a complex series of events from allegories that are more real than police reports and metaphors more revealing than evidence. And when a woman in the ward is found murdered, Daniel is declared the prime suspect, and Gustavo plummets deeper into the mysterious case."@en
  • "Tres años han pasado desde que Gustavo , un psicolingüista renombrado , habló por última vez con su mejor amigo Daniel , quien ha sido internado en un hospital psiquiátrico por asesinar a su novia. Cuando Daniel llama inesperadamente a confesar la verdad detrás del crimen , la lealtad fraternal enterrada de Gustavo resurge y lo atrae hacia el centro de una investigación poco convencional quijotesca a través de una red subterránea de anticuarios . Mientras Daniel revela su historia inquietante utilizando fragmentos de fábulas , novelas y alusiones históricas , Gustavo comienza a desandar el pasado en busca de pistas : desde sus días universitarios tempranos explorando bibliotecas llenas de polvo y burdeles exóticos hasta la íntima relacion de Daniel con su enfermiza hermana menor y su tratos como coleccionista de libros . A medida que las circunstancias se hacen cada vez más macabras y complejas con cada paso, Gustavo se ve obligado a deducir una serie compleja de eventos de alegorías que son más reales que los informes policiales y metáforas más reveladores de pruebas . Y cuando una mujer en el hospital es encontrada asesinada , Daniel es declarado el principal sospechoso, y Gustavo cae más profundo en la investigación del caso."
