Vélez es un anodino oficinista maniático de la limpieza y poco aficionado a los sobresaltos que un día recibe la invitación para reunirse con los exalumnos de su antigua escuela preparatoria. Pero el reencuentro se convierte en pesadilla cuando en el yate donde están celebrando la fiesta, Vélez y sus compañeros son abordados por unos piratas que asesinan frente a sus ojos a una de sus antiguas amigas. En ese momento, Vélez descubre que ha sido elegido para desentrañar un juego macabro con el fin de evitar nuevas muertes. Abrumado e incapaz de resolver el enigma, Vélez recurre entonces a la ayuda de Pereira, su antiguo profesor de la preparatoria. Juntos forman una cómica y singular pareja detectivesca al estilo de Sherlock Homes y el doctor Watson; y poco a poco irán descubriendo que Vélez está implicado en una trama donde el verdadero protagonista, el anónimo autor del juego, utiliza la sombría obra de Edgar Allan Poe para mover los hilos de este misterio. Con su inconfundible sello de fino humor negro, Antonio Malpica vuelve a demostrar que es uno de los narradores más interesantes de la escena literaria en lengua española.

Vélez is a nondescript office worker with a cleanliness freak and a little fan of surprises who one day receives an invitation to meet with the alumni of his old high school. But the reunion turns into a nightmare when on the yacht where they are celebrating the party, Vélez and his companions are approached by pirates who murder one of his former friends in front of their eyes. At that moment, Vélez discovers that he has been chosen to unravel a macabre game to prevent new deaths. Overwhelmed and unable to solve the enigma, Vélez then turns to the help of Pereira, his old high school teacher. Together they form a comical and unique detective couple in the style of Sherlock Homes and Dr. Watson; and little by little they will discover that Vélez is involved in a plot where the true protagonist, the anonymous author of the game, uses the shadowy work of Edgar Allan Poe to pull the strings of this mystery. With his unmistakable seal of fine black humor, Antonio Malpica once again demonstrates that he is one of the most interesting narrators in the Spanish-language literary scene.,
