Del ganador del premio Biblioteca Breve con En busca de Klingsor, y del premio Alfaguara con Una novela criminal, regresa con ésta, su novela más íntima. Lucía pertenece a un equipo de investigación, interdisciplinario, enfocado en estudiar el comportamiento humano, las motivaciones del mismo y sus consecuencias. Gabriel, el director del equipo, los ha convencido de ir a la frontera sur para estudiar el caso de una chica de 12 años asesinada, apuñalada, por su prima de la misma edad y el amigo/novio de ambas, y en presencia de dos pequeños testigos de 8 y 10 años. El caso les genera fascinación por distintas razones y sienten que pueden hacer una diferencia con su investigación. Recién están arrancando los acercamientos a los padres, las entrevistas con los chicos, el intercambio de teorías cuando Gabriel sufre un accidente automovilístico y muere. Tras su muerte, Lucía comienza a descubrir secretos oscuros de ese científico, amigo, protector, mentor, que la hacen pensar que el Gabriel que creyó conocer nunca existió.

This is such a great book! It was thoughtfully created. I bought it as gift for a 1 year old, and now I'm buying a second for my 9 month old son. He liked it, and I know as he gets a lytle older will like to more.
