Puede un asesinato convertirse en una obra de arte? Tras El desafÃo de Florencia, Alejandro Corral vuelve con un thriller que no defraudará a los amantes del arte y la historia. Cuanto más se acerca la fecha de entrega del manuscrito, menos inspirado se siente Óliver Brun, un joven escritor e investigador de Historia del arte que, tras ganar un importante premio literario, teme no estar a la altura de las expectativas con su segunda novela. Nada consigue sacarle de su bloqueo hasta que un dÃa, en casa de su profesor y maestro David Sender, descubre un secreto: las enigmáticas fotografÃas de una joven y un retrato de la misma posando como la Mona Lisa. Unos dÃas después, en el pueblo de la sierra madrileña donde vive David Sender, aparecen unos huesos en el lago. Las pruebas confirman que son de Melisa Nierga, la joven de las fotografÃas, y el profesor es inmediatamente detenido por la policÃa. De repente, Óliver se da cuenta de que tiene delante no solo la gran historia que estaba esperando, sino también una escalofriante incógnita: acaso el hombre que se lo ha enseñado todo es un asesino?
Óliver recurre a su compañera de la facultad, Nora, para que le ayude a desentrañar el misterio. Juntos descubrirán unos escritos en latÃn que podrÃan relacionar el asesinato de la chica con uno de los cuadros más bellos jamás pintados, el retrato conocido como «la Mona Lisa del Prado . Se encuentra la clave de este misterio en los pasillos del museo o en las solitarias calles del pueblo donde sucedió todo? En esta fascinante novela, Alejandro Corral combina la investigación de algunos de los secretos mejor guardados de la Historia del Arte con un trepidante thriller en la actualidad que consigue atrapar al lector desde la primera lÃnea. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Can a murder become a work of art? After The Challenge of Florence, Alejandro Corral returns with a thriller that will not disappoint both art and history lovers. The closer the manuscript deadline gets, the less inspired does Óliver Brun feel. He is a young art history writer and researcher that, after receiving an important literary award, is afraid he won't measure up to the expectations for his second novel. Nothing helps with his writer's block until, one day, at his teacher David Sender's house, he uncovers a secret: he finds enigmatic photos of a young woman and a portrait of her, posing like the Mona Lisa. Days later, some bones are found at the lake, in the mountain town near Madrid, where David Sender lives. Evidence confirms it's Melisa Nierga, the young woman in the photographs, and the professor is immediately detained by police. Suddenly, Óliver realizes he is not only facing the great story he had been waiting for, but a chilling question: the man who taught him everything, is he a murderer? Óliver turns to his faculty classmate, Nora, to help him unravel the mystery. Together they discover Latin texts that might link the girl's murder with one of the most beautiful pieces ever painted, a portrait known as The Prado's Mona Lisa. Is the key to this enigma in the museum's hallways? Or in the deserted town streets where everything happened? In this fascinating novel, Alejandro Corral combines his research of some of the best-kept secrets in art history with a fast-paced thriller set in present time, that draws the reader in from the very first line.
