A former editor of Nuestro Tiempo magazine has been murdered, apparently during the course of a burglary gone wrong, but investigative reporter Vernica Rosenthal has her doubts. She becomes increasingly convinced that her old boss's death was connected to his investigation of a high-level corruption scandal, a complex web of deceit and power.

A gripping tale of intrigue, gradually revealing a scandal that involves influential Argentine businessmen connected to an Israeli war criminal. But it also has a compelling personal angle, as Vernica, now older and wiser, faces an unwanted pregnancy, marital woes and concerns about her father's health.
