A movie-style heist, a locked building, and a soon-to-be-retired office worker every bit as bold and fearsome as John McClane himself.
It’s no ordinary day for Clarita: she’s retiring after thirty years at the same bank. Yet on her very last day, eight hooded gunmen burst into the office firing shots, hold all the employees at gunpoint, and lock them away as hostages to empty the vaults.
It’s a foolproof plan. Except for Clarita. She’s the oddball, the favorite target of her coworkers' jokes, the quiet wallflower. Armed with a surge of courage she didn't know she possessed, Clarita makes up her mind to stand up to the robbers and risk everything—her retirement, her life—to derail their plans. Truth be told, she's determined to find out whether she really is as insignificant as everyone else, and she herself, always thought.
In this frantic cozy heist, Rosa Montero paints a vivid portrait of a woman who discovers she’s capable of anything when adversity pushes her to the brink.
