Cineva în orașul ăsta te iubește

Gloria hears sounds and sees images that no one else can. Her gift makes her much sought after for solving cases. But it also traps her. She tries to write down thoughts that seem to fade. Yet she cannot keep the outside world at bay.

Corina Ozon’s novel blends crime, suspense and science fiction. The plot twists through killings, crashes and kidnappings. It ends in a way readers may not expect. It suits those who like puzzles and mysteries like The X-Files. Beneath the action lie love, grief, regret and hope. Family plays a key role. The book also asks questions about fate and truth. In the end, justice wins.

The mystery starts with the number pi. Words from a song about pi open the book. They tie its puzzle to numbers and obsession. They also link it to infinity, which has no end. The ending answers one question but leaves another open. This edition has a preface by Dan Burcea.
