At this school, everyone has
secrets, everyone looks guilty, everyone is a suspect.
Aurora Ríos is invisible to almost
everyone. Events in the past made her isolate herself from the world, and she
barely interacts with anyone. At seventeen years old, she has no friends and is
tired of the people in the town talking about her behind her back. One night in
May, her mother doesn’t find her at home when she returns from work. That’s
unusual. Aurora shows up dead the next day in the locker room at her school,
Instituto Rubén Darío. She’s been struck on the head, and a compass is found
next to her body.
Who is responsible for that
dreadful crime?
Julia Plaza, the invisible girl’s
classmate, is obsessed with finding an answer. Her extraordinary intelligence
and her prodigious memory make her unbeatable at chess, capable of solving a
Rubik’s Cube in fifty seconds. But will they help her parents find the key to
the enigma? Her mother, Aitana, is the forensic technician for the case, and
her father, Miguel Ángel, is Sergeant of the Judicial Police squad from the
Civil Guard in charge of the investigation. Julia and her fast friend Emilio, a
strange kid with an eerie gaze, will do everything possible to prevent Aurora
Ríos’s killer from going unpunished.
Will they find out who the killer
with the compass is, and what lies behind that bizarre death?
I really like this book and if you
like thrillers, detective novels, suspense, etc this is a great option and
maybe you can identify yourself with it and it also has a second part that,
despite not having read it, has been highly recommended to me and that is much
better than the first.
Its original edition is in Spanish
but I read it in English online in a pdf.
