When she agreed to go out with that boy, Marta did not realise that she was entering hell, or that from then on, it would be as agonising to go forward as to try to escape. PASQUAL ALAPONT's hair raising novel is written in the style of a thriller, complete with  psychopath. It is the story of Marta, a young woman who falls in love with the wrong person; but it is also a captivatingly tender story of a friendship tested to its limits.
