Synopsis "Sin Testigos (in Spanish)"

En los ultimos tres meses, ya son cuatro los cuerpos de jovenes que la policia de Londres ha encontrado brutalmente mutilados, tras ser secuestrados y agredidos sexualmente. Ninguna de las tres primeras victimas -chicos negros- ha podido ser identificada y New Scotland Yard ni siquiera habia establecido relacion entre las muertes hasta la aparicion del ultimo cadaver, un adolescente blanco intencionadamente dispuesto encima de una tumba. Ahora se sospecha que un asesino en serie esta detras de ellas. El caso cae en manos del comisario Thomas Lynley y su equipo. La investigacion los conducira a Coloso, una organizacion benefica que se dedica a la reinsercion de jovenes problematicos y marginales, y de la que podrian salir las victimas del asesino en serie. Sin embargo, parece que Coloso esconde algo mas que buenas intenciones y Lynley no solo debera lidiar con un complicado caso sino con la prensa y la opinion publica que no dudan en tildar a la policia de racista, ya que la mayoria de los chicos a los que Coloso ayuda son de raza negra. Con su trama criminal llena de recovecos y giros y con su penetrante analisis de las luces y sombras que caracterizan a los distintos personajes, Sin testigos mantiene despierta la atencion de todo buen amante de los thrillers y nos transporta a un universo tan perturbador y atrayente como el de El silencio de los corderos. / The police never suspected a serial killer was at large until they found the fourth murdered boy -- the first white victim -- his body draped over a tomb in a London graveyard. Suddenly a series of crimes and a potential public relations disaster have Scotland Yard on the defensive, scrambling to apprehend a maniac while avoiding accusations of racism. Detective Superintendent Thomas Lynley, distracted by concerns for his pregnant wife, has been assigned to the investigation, along with his disgraced partner, Barbara Havers, who's fighting for her professional future. Winston Nkata -- deservedly, if hastily, promoted to detective sergeant -- is the black face who will speak to the media. But none of them can imagine the tenacity and ingenuity of the killer they seek and no one is prepared for the savage, shocking instant when everything will change forever.
