註釋"En clave de luna ("Cadence of the Moon") tells of the crimes of a serial killer, who was known as el Psic̤pata ( the Psychopath) in the 1980s, spreading fear and terror amid Costa Rican society. A firm lead was not followed, for the suspect belonged to one of the most influential families of the country. Against this background of sleaze and corruption, N̨͠ez weaves his plot. The main characters are the young journalist Maricruz and the police investigator Gustavo who end up as a couple. Maricruz's boss is less fortunate. He falls in love with the married Lidia, of all people. While she manages to integrate her lover into her everyday life, he suffers from the thought of her waking next to the other man every morning. Disillusionment is what he is used to at work as well. Mr. Grey, the owner of the paper, demands a sensational scoop one day, to please the public, and compliant silence the next, so as not to upset the advertising clients or the backers from politics. In the meantime, investigations are under way. Maricruz receives anonymous telephone calls, encounters a strange man in Panama, and finds herself in the circle of an eerie sect who worships the moon. Soon she realises she is on the wrong track and was only exploited to divert attention. Gustavo fares no better: His boss, a candidate for the next elections, impedes the progress of the investigations. Gustavo cannot but resign from office, as does Maricruz, who exercises her profession with ardour, but not unconditionally."--www.mertin-litag.de/authors_htm/Nunez-O.htm.
