Summary

From the bestselling author of el secreto de sus ojos, the story that inspired the film that won the Oscar in the foreign film category in 2010.Alejandro, "El Mono", is dead. His brother and friends, inseparable since childhood, push back their grief to focus on Guadalupe, el Mono's daughter. Their goal is to give the little girl the love they felt for their friend and secure her future. But el Mono had emptied his bank account to buy a soccer player-a young man who showed a lot of promise but didn't live up to it-currently on loan to a third-rate club in the provinces. The three hundred thousand dollars invested in him about to vanish into thin air. How do you sell a forward who doesn't score? How do you navigate the waters in a place where you don't know the rules? How do you remain united when each failure creates invisible wedges in long-standing loyalties?
