The Hollow Ones

Resumen del libro

FBI agent Odessa's life is derailed when she's forced to turn her gun on her partner, who becomes suddenly, inexplicably violent while apprehending a murderer.

Devastated, Odessa is placed on desk leave pending a full investigation. But what troubles her most isn't the tragedy itself - it's the shadowy presence she saw fleeing his body after his death. Questioning her future with the FBI, and her sanity, Odessa accepts a low-level assignment to clear out the belongings of a retired agent.

What she finds there puts her on the trail of a mysterious figure who claims to have been alive for centuries, and who is either an unhinged lunatic . . .

or humanity's best and only defence against unspeakable evil.

Biografía del autor

El mexicano Guillermo del Toro es uno de los realizadores con mayor proyección internacional. Un cineasta original, inventor de ambientaciones cargadas de simbolismo, donde transcurren historias protagonizadas por personajes a medio camino entre lo real y lo irreal. Ha dirigido, entre otras, El espinazo del diablo (2001), El laberinto del Fauno (ganador, en 2007, del Goya al mejor guión original), Hellboy (2004) y Hellboy II (2008); ha producido El orfanato. El mundo del cómic, los monstruos y los personajes fantásticos son referencias estéticas inconfundibles de este autor.
