autismo. A Colin le encantaría pasar inadvertido, que no le gritaran, que no le tocaran constantemente, que no le obligaran a jugar al baloncesto, que dejaran de hacerle tantas preguntas.

The death of his parents, when he was three years old, has always been shrouded in mystery - he has never been told how or where it took place and has only a distant memory of his mother. But he knows that the fate of his grandfather's brother, Einar, is somehow bound up with this mystery. One day a coffin is delivered for his grandfather long before his death - a meticulous, beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Perhaps Einar is not dead after all.
