Overview
Un Madrid a principios de los noventa, convertido en un escenario a la vez preciso y fantasmagórico. Una peripecia detectivesca en la que Muñoz Molina otorga un papel preponderante a un registro irónico que convierte este relato de aventuras y desventuras en una versión actual de Cándido de Voltaire.
La misteriosa desaparición del Santo Cristo de la Greña lleva a Lorenzo Quesada a la capital española, donde se suceden las historias más disparatadas, con los más variopintos personajes y situaciones descabelladas.
La combinación de vibrante creatividad y profunda sensibilidad humana en esta obra confirma a Muñoz Molina como uno de los principales escritores españoles.
