Summary:

"Nueva York, 1977. En el centro de la ciudad acaba de inaugurarse el flamante edificio de Citicorp. Su peculiar estructura ha roto las reglas de la arquitectura moderna y lo ha convertido en uno de los rascacielos más reconocibles del skyline de Manhattan, pero pocos saben el desafío que este proyecto ha supuesto para Bill LeMessurier. Desde que aceptó el encargo seis años atrás, la gravedad no ha sido el único obstáculo que ha tenido que superar para alzar esta gigantesca torre de acero, hormigón y cristal. Sin embargo, una llamada inesperada está a punto de poner en jaque su reputación. Una estudiante de Ingeniería estructural ha detectado un posible error de cálculo y todo apunta a que el edificio podría desmoronarse causando una catástrofe inimaginable. LeMessurier no quiere admitir su error, pero la proximidad de una gran tormenta precipita una cuenta atrás que amenaza la ciudad entera." -- Back cover.

"New York, 1977. In the city center, the brand-new Citicorp building has just opened. Its peculiar structure has broken the rules of modern architecture and has made it one of the most recognizable skyscrapers on the Manhattan skyline. But few know the challenge that this project has represented for Bill LeMessurier. Since he accepted the commission six years ago, gravity has not been the only obstacle he has had to overcome to create this enormous tower of steel, concrete, and glass. However, an unexpected call is about to jeopardize his reputation. A Structural Engineering student has detected what seems to be a calculation error, and everything suggests that the building could collapse causing an unimaginable catastrophe. LeMessurier doesn't want to admit his mistake, but the warning of an imminent great storm is like a countdown threatening the entire city." -- Amazon.
