Synopsis
The protagonist of this mystery is Lucia, a fragile and tender personality, morbidly attached to her two loved ones: a young mother, Marta, and her daughter. In the park, at the bottom of a steep path, Lucia stumbles upon the body of a young man. He's a drug addict. Based on his wounds and other clues, he doesn't appear to be a victim of the "crime," but of one of the park's regulars with whom the shy Lucia walks daily. And the murders are of the same nature, continuing to mask the first or to conceal a more distant truth. Lucia eventually follows her lead and uncovers the culprit. Lucia is an English setter, and dogs, along with their owners, are the main characters in this canine detective story.
