Description
Apareciendo de la nada para horrorizar a la tranquila ciudad turística de Sanibel Island, Florida, docenas de zapatos idénticos de aspecto ordinario flotan en la marea y son arrastrados a la playa tropical, cada uno con un pie humano toscamente cortado en su interior. El agente Pendergast, llamado fuera de sus vacaciones en otro lugar del estado, accede a regañadientes a visitar la escena del crimen y, a su pesar, rápidamente se ve atraído por el incomprensible rompecabezas. Un informe patológico temprano solo aumenta el misterio. Con un océano de posibilidades que enfrenta la investigación, nadie está seguro de qué sucedió, por qué o de dónde se originaron los pies. Y necesitan desesperadamente saber: ¿las víctimas siguen vivas? En poco tiempo, Pendergast se encuentra frente al desafío más complejo e inexplicable de su carrera: un hilo enredado de evidencia que atraviesa mares y continentes, conectado con uno de los misterios más desconcertantes de la ciencia médica moderna. A través de sorprendentes giros y vueltas, todos los rastros conducen a un poderoso adversario con una agenda sádica y quien, en una cruel ironía, finalmente ve en Pendergast al sujeto ideal para su malévola investigación.
Description
Appearing out of nowhere to horrify the quiet resort town of Sanibel Island, Florida, dozens of identical, ordinary-looking shoes float in on the tide and are washed up on the tropical beach--each one with a crudely severed human foot inside. Called away from vacation elsewhere in the state, Agent Pendergast reluctantly agrees to visit the crime scene--and, despite himself, is quickly drawn in by the incomprehensible puzzle. An early pathology report only adds to the mystery. With an ocean of possibilities confronting the investigation, no one is sure what happened, why, or from where the feet originated. And they desperately need to know: are the victims still alive? In short order, Pendergast finds himself facing the most complex and inexplicable challenge of his career: a tangled thread of evidence that spans seas and traverses continents, connected to one of the most baffling mysteries in modern medical science. Through shocking twists and turns, all trails lead back to a powerful adversary with a sadistic agenda and who--in a cruel irony--ultimately sees in Pendergast the ideal subject for their malevolent research.
