A heist like something out of a film, a building under siege and an office worker about to retire who is as brave and formidable as John McClane himself.
It is not just another day in Clarita's life: she is about to retire after thirty years working in the same bank. Precisely on her very last day at work, eight masked men burst into the bank, taking all the employees hostage at gunpoint and locking them up in a small room while they pillage the safes.
It would have been a flawless plan. If it were not for Clarita. She is the odd one out, the frequent butt of her colleagues' jokes, the quiet one. Emboldened by a courage she didn't know she possessed, Clarita decides to stand up to the robbers and risk everything – her retirement and even her life – to thwart their plans. In reality, she has decided to discover whether she is as insignificant as everyone, including herself, thinks.
In this frenetic cosy heist novel, Rosa Montero paints a portrait of a woman who discovers she is capable of anything when her limits are tested by adversity.
