Summary

A pocos días de fallecer su marido, Laura Cohen recibe en su consulta a un joven, Jacob Lambert. Su repentina desaparición abrirá una puerta al pasado familiar de Laura que la conducirá a una investigación que se remonta hasta el Holocausto.

Laura Cohen, una mujer madrileña afincada en Montreal, ve cómo su apacible y exitosa vida junto a su marido Alexander, afamado psicólogo como ella, se trunca trágicamente cuando este muere en un misterioso accidente de tráfico.

Tiempo después, la llegada de un nuevo paciente, el joven y atormentado Jacob Lambert, la pone sobre la pista de unos secretos que afectan a recientemente fallecido esposo. Pero antes de que pueda saber más, Jacob desaparece sin dejar rastro, así que Laura decide investigar su desaparición y ahondar en el pasado de Alexander. Así descubre que su familia sobrevivió al Holocausto. Cuando aparece el cadáver de Jacob, Laura y el comisario Bonnard, encargado del caso, se sumerjen en una trama de conspiración auspiciada por una violento grupo que busca venganza por los crímenes del nazismo. Lo que Laura no sabe todavía es que la investigación la llevará a cuestionar sus propios orígenes, su matrimonio y su vida hasta el momento.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A fast-paced psychological thriller that's an incisive reflection on identity, revenge, and family secrets.
 
Within days of losing her husband in a traffic accident, Laura Cohen, a Spanish psychiatrist based in Montreal, takes as a patient a man traumatized by his past. When he disappears without a trace after the third session, Laura begins her search, enticed by an unexpected connection between the man and her deceased husband. This investigation will plunge her into a dangerous web of conspiracies, kidnappings, hidden experiments, and torture dating back to World War II and the Holocaust, and lead her to question her origins, her marriage, and her life up to that point.
 
Mercedes de Vega changes register with her most ambitious work: supported by a brilliantly worked prose and a well-defined description of the characters, she weaves a plot of intrigue interlaced to perfection, riddled with twists and surprising revelations, which does not slow down her addictive rhythm or for a moment.
