Synopsis
About half of human beings confess to being sexually unfaithful to their partner. But does the other half tell the truth or lie? There is only one way to prove it: to investigate his life through detectives or electronic means of espionage. This is the anthropological experiment that this novel proposes: to investigate without their consent six thousand people to finally elaborate a reliable statistic of the sexual behaviors of our societies.
Irene, its protagonist, seeks in sexuality the secrets of the human soul. As a young man, he traveled from Madrid to Chicago to do his university studies in Psychology, and there, far from his family, he began to analyze almost scientifically the men he came across and with whom he went to bed. Her cold gaze as a researcher changes when she falls in love with the Argentine Claudio, who carries a painful secret with him and whose family has a dark past linked to the history of his country.
One hundred nights it is at the same time a novel of sentimental reflection, erotic investigation and police pursuit of a murderer who has not left any trace of his crime.
