Every time the car shows up, some unfortunate event strikes the quiet town of Penrose.
Some people devote their days to serving others; the Meeting Shop has somehow lingered for centuries. Hitler is a remarkable painter who, every now and then, would pay us a visit. And why that persistent obsession with cookies? Why the nails? Why the Punisher? Who really knows anything about RÃos? Why does the gravedigger keep such a peculiar farm?
Inspector Beatriz Jiménez MartÃnez was driving her white convertible in perfect peace when she veered off the road and ended up in Penrose-a strange place where time doesn't behave as it should. Amid murders, intrigue, the powerful family, priests, private clinics, the uncle found in the river, the underground labyrinth, and Bar Hitler, there is a carefully woven plot-but by whom? There's a background as absurd as it is striking, one that Beatriz will want to escape, but first she must solve the crimes and mysteries assigned to her by the judge.
Between the absurd and the surreal lies the truth-a truth rooted in scientific study. Although here, in Penrose, nothing is ever what it seems, and everything has its reason...
