✦ Synopsis

Now a Best First Novel 2022 ITW Thriller Awards Nominee

A Library Journal Top Winter Debut: "Strong characterization, nail-biting suspense, social relevance."

Two moments in time, twenty years apart, one last chance at redemption. What would you do with a second chance?

Argentina is in the grip of a brutal military dictatorship. Inspector Joaquín Alzada's work in the Buenos Aires police force exposes him to the many realities of life under a repressive regime: desperate people, terrified people and —worst of all—missing people. Personally, he prefers to stay out of politics, enjoying a simple life with his wife Paula. But when his revolutionary brother Jorge is disappeared, Alzada will stop at nothing to rescue him.

The country is in the midst of yet another devastating economic crisis and riots are building in the streets of Buenos Aires. This time Alzada is determined to keep his head down and wait patiently for his retirement. But when a dead body is found behind the morgue and a woman from one of the city's wealthiest families goes missing, Alzada is forced to confront his own involvement in one of the darkest periods in Argentinian history—a time of collective horror and personal tragedy.
