Description
A labyrinthine tale of murder, madness, and passion unfolds in this haunting novel. When Daniel, a renowned psycholinguist, calls to confess the truth behind his fiancée's murder, his long-buried fraternal loyalty resurfaces, drawing Gustavo into a complex investigation. As Daniel reveals his story using fragments of fables, novels, and historical allusions, Gustavo must retrace their past for clues. From their early college days exploring dusty libraries to Daniel's intimate attachment to his sickly younger sister, the circumstances grow increasingly intricate. With sumptuous prose and haunting imagery, Faverón Patriau crafts an unforgettable tale that is as entertaining as it is erudite. This dark and illuminating novel explores themes of murder, madness, and passion, weaving together allegories and metaphors to reveal a sinister series of events.
