'El olor dulce y amargo de los mangos fermentados entre las hojas en el suelo frente a su casa era trasladado por el viento, casi nunca habia tanta brisa en San Diego por los dias de junio, pero la luna ya habia crecido todas sus fases y estaba llena,la noche penetro apacible y silenciosa, el podia sentir el olor del terror que se avecinaba porque la Pavita Muertera saltaba de una rama a otra sobre el arbol del Saman anunciando infortunio con su canto'.Un asesinato, un robo y la huida de Espana es el secreto mejor guardado de la familia Altivo, errores de los que nunca nadie hablo: Santiago es el heredero de las desgracias de un pasado ensangrentado. Es una historia magica, de drama, misterio e intriga donde el protagonista, siendo el ultimo de su linaje nos muestra de forma misteriosa sus tormentos, leyendas urbanas, sabores, olores, fiestas populares, su manera de amar y de concebir el amor.Esta novela cuenta la angustiosa vida de Santiago Altivo, un personaje que sufre por situaciones inexplicables. Una presencia invade sus pensamientos haciendo que pierda la perspectiva entre la realidad y la fantasia, cambiando su manera de ser, y su retraida personalidad que nunca nadie supo como definir.El Rufian lo acosa, lo domina, absorbe su vida, controla su voluntad por lo que se pregunta constantemente: '?Sera que me estoy volviendo loco?'. De ahi surge una batalla con sus propias creencias, traumas del pasado, abusos familiares a los que fue sometido, pero Santiago dara un giro cuando Eva Rivas, su amante de ocasion, le sugiere asistir a la consulta de un psiquiatra quien juega a ser juez y Dios de la vida del protagonista, esculcando en sus mas intimos pero oscuros deseos.
