Description: Sere is a journalist from Caracas who leaves her job to open a restaurant in Santa Monica. Olga is an old friend living in exile in London. In brief letters marked by astonishment and horror, Sere tells Olga about the adventures of Patricia, a friend and colleague investigating a series of unexplained crimes. Several bodies have been found in the Guaire, the river that runs through Caracas. But none of them have drowned. Except for one: Toñito Peralta. Perhaps this case holds the key to all the others. Patricia wants to know what happened and publish the results of her investigations in the press. Will she be able to discover who is throwing bodies into the Guaire? This novel explores a barely explored area in Venezuelan crime literature, where rootedness and uprooting serve as the backdrop for a detective story with very few police officers, told in an intimate and warm voice: the voice of friendship.
