It's only 41 pages and quite a few editing mistakes are in it - the most glaring is the victim is described as the owner of a video store, then a phone store, then a video store again.

I never found a summary from the publisher, Amazon, etc. Still, I recommend it because in 41 pages he caught my interest, and I will probably read more by this auyhor.… (más)
