CHAPTER ONE
The madman on the beach
The first time I saw Rafael I was twelve years old.
My family lived in the city, far away from the sea. But my Uncle Miguel and his family lived in a little village on the coast. He had a cafe and a small farm there. And sometimes my family visited him.
There in that village I met poor mad Rafael. I didn't know then who he was, or why he was mad. I knew nothing of his strange and terrible story. Now, fourteen years later, I believe I know the whole story. But Rafael is dead. Why should I tell people his terrible secret? Only I know what happened to Rafael. Only I know what happened to the young and beautiful Anita. And to the soldier. Only I.
