Description
Una novela cautivadora sobre el dinero, la belleza y los fantasmas del pasado. Vincent es camarera en el hotel Caiette, un palacio de cristal y madera de cinco estrellas en la isla de Vancouver, donde su madre desapareció cuando ella era una niña. El dueño del hotel, Jonathan Alkaitis, le da una propina a Vincent y eso marca el inicio de una vida juntos. Sin embargo, la aparición de un inquietante mensaje en el ventanal del hotel pondrá en peligro la felicidad de la nueva pareja. Trece años después, la misteriosa desaparición de una mujer en alta mar se entrelaza con el descubrimiento de una estafa piramidal y arrastra las vidas de Vincent y Alkaitis a un remolino que ninguno de los dos podrá controlar y donde nada es lo que parece. Entre barcos, rascacielos de Manhattan y la naturaleza salvaje de la isla de Vancouver, los personajes se mueven como fantasmas en este deslumbrante retrato de la codicia, la reconciliación con el pasado y la búsqueda del sentido de la vida en un mundo caótico.--,Amazon.
Description
Vincent is a bartender at the Hotel Caiette, a five-star glass and cedar palace on an island in British Columbia. Jonathan Alkaitis works in finance and owns the hotel. When he passes him his card with a tip, it's the beginning of their life together. That same day, Vincent's half-brother, Paul, scrawls a note on the windowed wall of the hotel: "Why don't you swallow broken glass." Leon Prevant, a shipping executive for a company called Neptune-Avramidis, sees the note from the hotel bar and is shaken to his core. Thirteen years later Vincent mysteriously disappears from the deck of a Neptune-Avramidis ship. Their lives paint a picture of greed and guilt, fantasy and delusion, art and the ghosts of our pasts.
