Amb aquest obra Oller obre la literatura catalana del segle XIX envers la novel·la.Narcís Oller ( 1846-1930 ) va donar unes quantes obres mestres a la literatura catalana, després de segles que no passava. Es l'escriptor que posa al dia la nostra novel·la, empeltant-la dels corrents narratius mes avançats del moment, sota el mestratge del realisme i el naturalisme francesos. La Papallona ( 1882 ) va ser un exit internacional, i amb L'Escanyapobres ( 1884 ) va reixir a treure's de sobre el llast del romanticisme. A La febre d'or ( 1890-2 ) va descriure la burgesia barcelonina, a La bogeria ( 1898 ) va tocar el tema naturalista del determinisme hereditari i a Pilar Prim ( 1906 ) fa un pas cap a la novel·la psicologica. Oller tambe va escriure diversos reculls de contes i unes Memories literaries ( 1962, postumes ).

It begins with a letter ...The letter contains a request - think of a number, any number - and a sealed envelope. Inside the envelope is that number. When Dave Gurney, retired NYPD homicide detective, is contacted by an old college acquaintance about some startling letters he's been receiving, it is at first little more than a diverting but sinister puzzle. Until the acquaintance is brutally killed. Suddenly Gurney finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation that makes no sense. The killer seems to have known his victim intimately. How else was he able to predict his victim's thoughts, even his actions? How did he know his darkest secrets? The killer is smart and he is playing with the police. Gurney needs to be smarter if he's going to catch him, but this seems only to be the beginning. And the killer alone knows where it will end.
