Heredia, a classic detective, of the stature of a Marlowe or Spade, marginal, solitary, enlightened, and skeptical, is charged with investigating the murder of an important lawyer, a crime that, as in all good novels of the genre, unveils a series of political and economic interests. His partner is a cat named after a writer of crime thrillers. The background is an exciting urban fresco depicting the hidden social reality and corruption of Chile in the last few decades.
