The owner of the largest electronics factory in Japan is invited to the court of a poor South American country, seemingly to celebrate his 53rd birthday. In reality, the intention is to entice him to invest and leverage his enormous capabilities. He is lured by the presence of opera singer Roxane Coss, who many around the world dream of dancing with or at least seeing from afar. The honored Japanese guest attends, but during the party, a raid occurs aimed at kidnapping a prominent figure who is absent, leading to unintended and more valuable captives.
The storyline unfolds with a camera-like perspective capturing both anticipated and unimaginable events in this exceptional reality. The novel combines suspense and adventure, gripping the reader to the last line with its deep substance and comprehensive analytical vision. Beneath its thrilling sequences, it exposes the ruling classes, undermines the power of the elite, and highlights their dubious relationships at the expense of the people's misery and hardship.
