Description
La vision a escondidas de un hecho insolito: la participacion de su abuelo en un rito masonico cuando tenia cuatro anos, llevara a Luis a guardar celosamente este secreto, del cual, como es natural, desconoce su significado y a ser el, ya adolescente, el ignorante depositario de un objeto: un valioso cuadro pintado por Ingres a principios del s. XIX. Desconocedor de su valiosa posesion, ya de mayor, le sera robada la tela. Sera entonces, en el transcurso de la investigacion por encontrar la identidad de quien o quienes se la han sustraido, cuando conocera el origen y las peripecias de dicho cuadro, su conexion, asi mismo, con una valiosisima obra de arte de la relojeria: el famoso reloj de pulsera Reina de Napoles, del genial relojero Breguet, y de otras muchas cosas mas de las que hasta la fecha era ajeno. En una mezcla de biografia y fantasia, se enlazan datos historicos con hechos reales de la vida del autor, unidos a otros formulados como hipotesis y a otros mas decididamente inventados para crear esta novela de misterio que tiene por marco la Cartagena mas negra de la postguerra y el Madrid mas actual.
