George Washington Caucamán, detective de origen mapuche y gatillo ligero, es destinado a Santiago de Chile, y allí lo arrinconan en la unidad de delitos sexuales. Aunque se sienta un poco perdido y añore las tierras patagónicas, Caucamán no se deja arredrar y empieza a investigar un caso de llamadas anónimas a una “línea caliente” de sexo. Dos datos hacen especialmente inquietante el caso: la chica de la Hot Line es una exiliada que acaba de regresar al país: y las llamadas parecen relacionadas con las torturas de la dictadura pinochtista.

Skæg lille 'krimi', nærmest i ugebladsføljetonstil, men med nogle sarkastiske oneliners, som går rent hjem. Kort bog - kort anmeldelse, for så er der heller ikke så meget mere at skrive... (
