In \"Patrick Has Returned,\" the reader does not look for the culprit, but rather witnesses, complicit and expectant, the impostor's performance. The novel stands out for its polished prose, the construction of ambiguous characters, and a tension that grows organically. It is a work that will interest both the author's fans and those looking for an intelligent mystery, far from bloody crime, where the true enigma lies in human nature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HOJA DE LATA EDITORIAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53406721212763,"sku":"9788416537341","price":22.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978841653734.jpg?v=1781838957","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788416537341","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
