Just when you think you've seen all possible twists in a crime thriller, 'The Cursed' comes along to prove that you can still be surprised. For fans of Ken Follett, Stieg Larsson, and Pérez Reverte. Argentina, 1924. The story of the Siamese twins Blas and Lucio Kovensky ranks among the world's most famous medical cases, attracting journalists from all continents like flies. Shortly after birth, their mother abandoned them, and the twins were taken to a secret research center, led by a mad Soviet. During their early years, the Siamese twins were subjected to the worst imaginable tortures in the name of medical research. Sometime later, science separated them, and they never saw each other again. Two decades later, misfortune would reunite what science had separated: Blas Kovensky, one of the twins, is accused of murder while serving in the military in Antarctica and decides to flee to Buenos Aires in search of his brother Lucio's help. But Lucio, facing even greater troubles, finds the opportunity of his life: he kills his brother and seeks to start a new life in Antarctica by impersonating his brother and leaving behind more than just his past. What should have been a fresh start for Lucio turns into a nightmare. Trapped in the cursed research base, at 55 degrees below zero, new murders begin to occur, and everyone suspects one person: Kovensky. To prove his or his brother's innocence, Kovensky will have to confront the darkness within himself and delve into the tormented truths lying beneath the eternal ice. And in the silence of the end of the world, the only voice that matters... is the one that decides to survive.
