In the Cuba of postponed changes and the state counter-reform, Eddy, a policeman with a tendency to operate expeditiously, needs to unite the points that unravel the criminal network around the Skyline, and for this he will have to face the interdepartmental bureaucracy of the National Police Revolutionary, the enemy's cunning, and the harassment of a blackmailer. As a result of the investigation into the Skyline plot, a man begins his particular descent into hell, while a hitman, an unstoppable killing machine, is set in motion with the purpose of eliminating loose ends. -- Back cover.
