One of the wonders of marriage is knowing that both spouses, together and in harmony, commit themselves to facing whatever good and bad life may bring. In this story, however, it seems that only Valeria, the intrepid heroine, is determined to uphold this part of the commitment. She loves Eustace, her husband, but he is hiding something serious from his past that he does not wish to share with her, fearing that the discovery might tarnish what they have just formalized.

Yet when love is great, one acquires a kind of elusive ability that enables us to escape the ordinary and immerse ourselves in the search that must break through the barriers of the impossible to make way for the truth which, as we know, sets us free. Valeria, disregarding not only her husband's wishes but also the advice of all those around her who try unsuccessfully to dissuade her, decides to press on. What drives her is not only the desire to clear the name of the person she loves most, but also the hope that, by doing so, the future now clouded by uncertainty will finally be purified of all stain.

The author succeeds in drawing the reader into the story so completely that it is difficult not to become involved in the same quest for truth that inspires the protagonist. It is worth noting that the entire plot is underpinned by a profound trust in Providence, by the conviction that there is a “something” which guides events and encourages one to move forward in order to resolve what has remained unexplained. A fine blend of mystery and action which, enriched by a touch of romance, manages to hold the reader’s attention right through to the final line. Highly recommended.
