In the near future in New York, Antar, an IT specialist, accidentally discovers the file of Murugan, a former colleague who had moved to Calcutta and had been lost track of. Murugan was following the trail of scientist Ronald Ross, winner of the 19th century Nobel Prize, who carried out important research on malaria. The novel combines elements of suspense, science fiction and reflections on identity, scientific manipulation and the search for immortality. Published by Editorial Anagrama in 1997, this edition belongs to the Panorama de Narrativas collection.
