A minimalist strangeness lingers in the soul of anyone who reads the stories in Natàlia Cerezo's first collection, En las ciudades escondidas (In the Hidden Cities). There is an apparently intense inner being in all the characters, who are defined by what they don't say and what they have lost. They are alive, nothing more or less.
Children are inexplicably disappearing without trace. The psychologist Jamilen Lasso, who is going through a low point in his life, is given the task of supporting the families, but when he digs into the victims' pasts he discovers that things are not quite what they seem. Seemingly unconnected events become the backdrop for a criminal investigation that seems to point to a very unusual pursuit.
