About the work
The summer of 1991: the town that forgot how to scream.
When Federico Barón’s car breaks down on the outskirts of the desolate town of San Silvestre, he arrives carrying little more than his father’s old case notes and a burning need for closure. Three decades ago, a young woman named Mariana Borbonna vanished without a trace, leaving behind a town paralyzed by a suffocating, unnatural heat—a climate that seems to guard its darkest secrets like an accomplice.
As Federico begins to dig into the past, he realizes that the sweltering atmosphere is more than just a weather phenomenon; it is a wall of silence erected by those who still hold power. Every shuttered window watches him, and every step he takes reveals that Mariana’s disappearance was not a crime of passion, but a calculated sacrifice to protect an untouchable network of influence and corruption.
Caught between an anonymous enemy and the weight of a town’s collective guilt, Federico must decide how far he is willing to go to unearth the truth. In San Silvestre, where the heat liquefies reality and the asphalt itself seems to hide the bodies of the forgotten, justice comes at a blistering price.
Some secrets are buried deep. In San Silvestre, they are forged in the heat.
