Are we masters of our destiny? A dark and disturbing thriller about free will. Horror and crime genre combined in an addictive novel in the vein of John Connolly.

When, like the gentle drops that anticipate the fury of the storm, the corpses of several slaughtered cats begin to litter the city of Seville, two detectives brought out of their tranquillity by the macabre events will find themselves suddenly confronted by a series of strange events and, above all, by a question of the ever-elusive nature.

From Aristotle to Einstein, from Calderón de la Barca to Simon Laplace, many people over the centuries have tried to answer one of the greatest questions in the history of mankind: is man really free or is there a path that we walk along without knowing it? In this dark and disturbing thriller about free will, some answers are offered, as valid as any others, but, above all, many disturbing questions are thrown like shadow darts.
