- Summary:
- "Alejo pasó su infancia en un asentamiento precario en la ribera de un arroyo de la ciudad. Una noche de verano el arroyo desborda, los ranchos se inundan y, en medio del caos y la desesperación, Daniel, su hermanito de cinco años, desaparece. Pasan las décadas; la suerte de Alejo y su familia se revierte. Sus problemas dejan de ser económicos; la miseria y la pobreza quedan atrás, pero su empeño en saber qué pasó con Danielito no decae. Junto con su madre mantiene, a lo largo de los años, una investigación que la justicia ha abandonado. Finalmente llegan a una verdad espeluznante y dan con el culpable. Pero fuerzas más poderosas se ponen en marcha para proteger al monstruo. La Iglesia no está dispuesta a abandonar a uno de los suyos. Una historia de resiliencia, superación, de búsqueda incesante y de fracaso de la verdad y la justicia." -- page 4 of the cover
- "Alejo spent his childhood in a precarious settlement on the banks of a city stream. One summer night the stream overflowed, the ranches flooded and, in the midst of chaos and despair, Daniel, his five -year-old little brother, disappeared. The decades pass; Alejo's fate and his family is reversed. His problems cease to be economical; Misery and poverty are left behind, but their efforts to know what happened to Danielito does not decline. Together with his mother, he maintains, over the years, an investigation that justice has abandoned. Finally they reach a creepy truth and find the culprit. But more powerful forces are launched to protect the monster. The Church is not willing to abandon one of theirs. A story of resilience, overcoming, incessant search and failure of truth and justice." -- cataloger's translation
