A valuable necklace disappears during a forty-five-second blackout. But Lucía Vega suspects the crime began before the lights went out.
Lucía owns a small bookshop in the coastal town of Bahía Clara. She is not a detective, but she notices what other people overlook. When the historic Collar de la Reina vanishes from the local museum, suspicion falls on the security guard, the jeweler, and the victim's ambitious niece.
Lucía starts with one simple question: Who actually saw the necklace just before the blackout? With help from her friend Alejo and Inspector Rojas, she follows the timeline, separates harmless secrets from real evidence, and discovers that the most important clue is hidden in the moment everyone misunderstood.
