The literary debut of David Pinner is influenced by the same mysterious and contradictory tone that shapes his argument and is commonly recognized by cinema fanatics as the origin of the British horror film "The Wicker Man." For the first time in Spanish, this modern rarity serves as a fundamental bridge between occult fiction and cinematic pop culture. David Hanlin, Scotland Yard police officer, is a strict and puritanical character who receives the order to investigate the death of an eight-year-old girl in the small rural community of Thorn. During this time, the protagonist slowly falls into a web of psychological illusions, sexual seduction, and ancient religious practices with terrifying rituals.
