Description:

It is in fact a very simple story, with a simple plot and unexceptional writing (from a writer who can write exceptionally well when she wants to), but for people like myself who are fans of the series, it is an irresistible read. The story follows one of two sisters (who reads like an urban, mortal version of Mendoza) who is apparently being stalked by some kind of psychopath. The psychopath does nasty things and leaves cryptic messages like: "Wouldn't it be useful to live forever? Think of the things you could save." Happily, her long lost uncle (Porfirio) arrives to help her just as you are figuring out that the psychopath really comes from the disgruntled underbelly of The Company and that his real target is Porfirio...
