In the noir genre, spontaneous bestsellers are multiplying everywhere. In Spain we have the case of the dazzling and insulting young man Javier Castillo, to name one of the most prominent. In the UK they have a Robert Bryndza that aims at the same level from a shared origin on desktop publishing platforms in which readers' fondness ends up reaching leading publishers.
«I'll see you under the ice«, His first novel (or at least the one that made him known throughout Europe), presented us with a relentless Erika Foster confronting the criminal and his inner depths as a paradigm of any current crime novel. And the thing worked remarkably because Robert took care to provide that inquential verisimilitude of the good storyteller of scenarios between the morbid and the sinister waiting to see a little light in a resolution of the case that must imperatively be presented from a plot climax.
And now we find a third installment of the Foster saga that points towards that maxim that no great secret can be buried forever. Chance or perhaps causality leads to an unexpected encounter. During an anti-drug operation that culminates in the seizure of an important cache and the discovery of eerily small human bones. The shadow of infanticide or some remote loss of a child opens like a cleft of consciousness.
The bones belong to little Jessica Collins, who has been missing for more than two decades. The recovery of remote cases always has that strange charm of lost time, of the lies capable of making their way through the cruelty, of the despair of family members who once again come face to face with their ghosts repudiated to the dreams of each night.
The one who can best guide Erika Foster is Amanda Baker, who will lead the search for the girl and unravel the reasons for her disappearance. But whoever cheated on Amanda at the time will be well aware of the news. The killer may also have ghosts of his own, dark memories of what he did and what he can do again if Agent Foster continues to inquire about that forgotten case.
