For the first time in English, the translation of Santiago Eximeno's Spanish original Alicia en el Só tano follows a father's descent into darkness in pursuit of a lost child. One summer afternoon, Santi and Maria's daughter disappears without a trace from a public park. A fruitless investigation passes, the agony only serving to tear Santi' s life and family further apart. Months go by, and Santi finally stumbles upon a clue: it is hardly a name, barely a whisper, but it is enough to reveal a haunting legacy and unleash an entirely new kind of horror upon the despairing young father: " He Who Does Not Speak With Children."
