"Antonia Scott es especial. Muy especial. No es policía ni criminalista. Nunca ha empuñado un arma ni llevado una placa, y, sin embargo, ha resuelto decenas de crímenes. Pero hace un tiempo que Antonia no sale de su ático de Lavapiés. Las cosas que ha perdido le importan mucho más que las que esperan ahí fuera. Tampoco recibe visitas. Por eso no le gusta nada, nada, cuando escucha unos pasos desconocidos subiendo las escaleras hasta el último piso. Sea quien sea, Antonia está segura de que viene a buscarla. Y eso le gusta aún menos." -- Back cover

"Antonia Scott is special. Very Special. She is not a police officer or a criminalist. She has never wielded a gun or carried a badge, and yet she has solved dozens of crimes. But it has been a while since Antonia left her attic in Lavapiés. The things that she has lost about her matter much more to her than the things that await out there. She doesn't receive visitors either. That's why she doesn't like it when she hears some unfamiliar footsteps going up the stairs to the top floor. Whoever she is, Antonia is sure that he or she is coming for her. And she likes that even less." -- Cataloger's translaiton and interpretation of the synopsis on the cover
