What you need to know before your trail
Written in the form of a casebook of Mr Juan Manuel Perez, a former policeman. This is his investigation into the disappearance of Gerardo Fisher, a theatre director. So far so interesting. But the reader plays as much a part of this case as the investigator himself with a range of multimedia tools attached via QR codes and similar to help Juan.
Ana and Sara, two members of the Tenemos Artists’ Colony located among the hills outside Cuidad Azul have called upon him to ask for help in tracking down their director, Gerardo.
It might look like a straight forward missing persons case but it’s a lot deeper than that…

“Ciudad Azul is a beautiful lakeside resort about 700 kilometres west of Buenos Aires in the Sierras of Cordoba.”
The mystery opens at the Tememos Artists’ Colony located in the hills outside Cuidad Azul which seems to be the most idyllic place to be. The artists spend time there :
“It was called Tememos, they called it that became Tememos in Greek means sacred space’. In Spanish, its an order, an imperative: it means fear us. You wouldn’t think many people would fear this bunch of artists.”
Well with a name like that we couldn’t help but see just how mysterious and elusive the colony would be. The fact it’s called a colony too is a bit creepy is it not?
The mystery and allure of the colony in increased when the investigation centres there. Gerado was a man of mystery it would seem and by talking to those who knew him, you and the other detective can build up a picture of the man himself. He is somewhat of a strange and reclusive figure in some respects and no one seems to know who their director was.
The Sierras of Argentina are vividly realised – you see and feel each different kind of weather conditions from the hot sun at midday to the distant mountains and the mist and heavy air that they bring with them.
