The Penalty - Mal Peet

The Penalty - Mal Peet

As the city of San Juan pulses to summer’s sluggish beat, its teenage soccer prodigy, El Brujito, the Little Magician, vanishes without a trace — right after he misses a penalty kick and loses a big game for his team. Paul Faustino, South America’s top sports reporter, is reluctantly drawn into the mystery of the athlete’s disappearance. As a story of corruption and murder unfolds, Faustino is forced to confront the bitter history of slavery and the power of the occult. A deftly woven mystery flush with soccer and suspense, this gripping novel is a thrilling read not to be missed. źródło opisu: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/129149/th...(?) źródło okładki: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/129149/th...»
