En un futuro cercano, el arte ha dado un giro radical: los lienzos han sido sustituidos por seres humanos. Clara es una de estas 'obras de arte vivas', una joven que se somete a largas sesiones de inmovilidad para ser exhibida en las galerías más prestigiosas. Sin embargo, este mundo de estética extrema se ve sacudido por una serie de brutales asesinatos que amenazan con destruir la delgada línea entre la creación y la depravación. José Carlos Somoza teje un thriller psicológico fascinante y perturbador que explora los límites de la ética, el mercado del arte y la deshumanización. A través de una narrativa tensa y original, la novela cuestiona qué valor le damos a la vida humana cuando esta se convierte en un objeto de consumo puramente estético.
