After ‘Será nuestro secreto,’ which was very well received by readers, Empar Fernández (Barcelona 1962) returns with the second installment of the series starring the Mossos d'Esquadra inspector Mauricio Tedesco
and his police team, where the reader will find many of the features that characterize the author's work: a deeply human and empathetic social vision, the difficulty of adapting to a changing world and the trivialization of evil. The novel is about a boy playing in a square in the center of Barcelona kicking a ball. In an oversight of his mother, the boy disappears. Is he lost or has he been taken away?
Daniel is not a child like the others, he is autistic, he does not have the same resources and is unable to ask for help in a city where a thousand dangers lurk. Daniel is very lonely. Inspector Tedesco, motivated by personal interest, tries to follow the trail of the missing boy. What he does not know is that the case, which seemed unique and isolated, will bring him face to face with an organized criminal plot, responsible for more child abductions.
The book is Daniel's journey as he wanders through a city that becomes hostile to him and feels the deep fear and shock that only a seven-year-old boy who does not recognize his surroundings or anyone else can feel.
