ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A heart-pounding novel that intertwines the stories of several characters as their relationships form a bubbling microcosmos of humanity in the midst of the most unimaginable barbarism. MarÃa Elena has devoted her entire life to serve in the homes of influential and powerful people in El Salvador. One morning, as she arrives to one of these homes, she finds there is no one there to greet her. Behind what seems like a kidnapping, lies something more serious, something from which MarÃa Elena can't hide, and that it will gravely affect her own family. While wrapped up in a desperate search, against the warnings of her daughter Belka, MarÃa Elena goes to The Viking for help, a former professional wrestler turned torturer, who was her suitor long ago. All of them, heavily beaten by the consequences of an endless civil war, struggle to discover the whereabouts of the missing people and find their own redemption at the epicenter of a nation at the brink of its last round. Central America's signature author delivers an exiting novel that weaves the stories of characters whose ties form a microcosmos ignited with humanity amid unimaginable brutality.
