"Clarice" wakes up in a dumpster, not even knowing her name. And here is the weirdest thing: she is in 2040, in a decadent São Paulo. As she begins a desperate quest to discover herself, she tries to get used to this strange world surrounded by technological advances and humanitarian setbacks. Her obsession with finding a way back to her time doesn't stop her from facing this adventure. In the midst of all this, she meets people who have been part of her mysterious story – which can be modified for both better and worse. But most of the time, forgetfulness is better than the simple truth. On a whim of fate, she ends up meeting the enigmatic Elvis and his faithful companion Kurt, a cat who manages to be even more enigmatic. And this meeting, apparently by chance, could change her life deeply. Living on the boundary between being hunted and the hunter, she rediscovers herself in the future at the same time the past is being distilled, until all of that becomes just one thing: the present. Like all good suspense, there will be no shortage of twists, chases and a psychopath on the loose. The Trace of a Soul talks about murder, violence and passion. A book that invades, without asking permission, the territory of the noir. An electrifying story with a touch of dystopia and sadism. All this separated by a fine line between the future, the past and the present...
