Synopsis

Un hombre recibe una carta que le urge a pensar en un numero, cualquiera. Cuando abre el pequeno sobre que acompana al texto, siguiendo las instrucciones que figuran en la propia carta, se da cuenta de que el numero alli escrito es exactamente en el que habia pensado. David Gurney, un policia que despues de 25 anos de servicio se ha retirado al norte del Estado de Nueva York con su esposa, se vera involucrado en el caso cuando un conocido, el que ha recibido la carta, le pide ayuda para encontrar a su autor con urgencia: lo que en principio parecia poco mas que un chantaje se ha acabado convirtiendo en una amenaza contra su vida. Gurney debera desentranar el misterio de como este criminal parece capaz de leer la mente de sus victimas en primer lugar, para poder relacionarlo con casos parecidos del pasado y llegar a establecer el patron que le permita atraparlo. Se trata de un libro muy inteligente, con una trama excelente y en el que buena parte del proceso de deduccion se desarrolla en una sala con otros miembros del cuerpo de policia, pensando. La sangre no es tan importante como el complicado proceso mental con el que actua el asesino y las igualmente brillantes dotes de deduccion del policia. Este es el primer titulo de lo que se preve que sea una serie con el mismo protagonista. / An extraordinary fiction debut, Think of a Number is an exquisitely plotted novel of suspense that grows relentlessly darker and more frightening as its pace accelerates, forcing its deeply troubled characters to moments of startling self-revelation.
