Una absorbente historia de suspense psicológico que explora los límites entre la culpa y la expiación.
Con una trama intensa y llena de secretos, Toni Hill nos transporta a un barrio mítico del Cinturón Rojo de Barcelona, tanto en los convulsos años setenta como en la actualidad, donde unos personajes profundamente humanos se ven atrapados en un conflicto marcado por la lealtad, el silencio y la venganza.
A finales de los setenta, Víctor Yagüe y Juanpe Zamora fueron algo más que simples compañeros de clase. Su amistad, llena de confidencias y juegos, de alegrías y miedos, rebasó las paredes del aula y se extendió por las conflictivas calles de la Ciudad Satélite. Hasta el 15 de diciembre de 1978. Hasta el día en que un suceso trágico sacudió la conciencia de los vecinos. Hasta el momento en que los chicos se vieron obligados a escoger entre la lealtad y la salvación.
Treinta y siete años después, ambos vuelven a encontrarse en ese mismo escenario. Sus vidas han corrido suertes opuestas. Juanpe es un hombre a la deriva, sin futuro y con un presente turbio; Víctor, en cambio, puede considerarse un triunfador. Quizá por eso se siente extrañamente en deuda con su viejo amigo y decide enfrentarse a los claroscuros de un caso cerrado que, sin embargo, sigue envuelto de inquietantes preguntas que nadie quiere responder.
Pero lo que Víctor y Juanpe ignoran es que alguien, en la sombra, está escribiendo la historia de ese crimen. Un relato revelador que, tal vez, ninguno de los dos debería leer.
Toni Hill nos brinda una historia impactante y atmosférica que lo vuelve a confirmar como una de las grandes plumas del género de nuestro país.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An engrossing story of psychological suspense that explores the line between guilt and atonement.
With an intense plot full of secrets, Toni Hill transports us to a mythical neighborhood in Barcelona’s Red Belt, both in the tumultuous ‘70s and today, where some profoundly human characters find themselves trapped in a conflict marked by loyalty, silence, and revenge.
At the end of the 1970s, Víctor Yagüe and Juanpe Zamora were more than just classmates. Their friendship, full of games and secrets, of joys and fears, went beyond the classroom and flowed along the troubled streets of the satellite city. Until December 15, 1978, that is. Until the day a tragic event shook the neighbors’ consciousness. Until the moment the boys found themselves forced to choose between loyalty and salvation.
Thirty-seven years later, both find themselves again in the same scenario. Their lives have taken opposite paths. Juanpe is a man adrift, without a future and with a rocky present; Víctor, on the other hand, can consider himself a winner. Perhaps that’s why he feels strangely indebted to his old friend and decides to face the nuances of a cold case that nonetheless remains wrapped up in disturbing questions that nobody wants to answer.
But what Juanpe and Víctor are unaware of is that someone, in the shadows, is writing the story of the crime. A revealing tale that maybe neither of the two ought to read.
Toni Hill offers a stunning story that once again confirms him as one of the great Spanish suspense writers.
