In the heart of the Pantanal, Marcelo Oliveira, an ornithologist and defender of indigenous peoples, is found murdered at his home. Refusing the summary verdict of Brazilian justice, Dorothy Johnson, Special Rapporteur for the United Nations, decides to travel there. She quickly understands that, thousands of kilometres away, in Etosha Park, Namibia, a herd of elephants is displaying behaviour as strange as it is worrying. Amaya Quintero, a passionate ethologist, seeks to unravel the mystery. Joined by Nassim Améziane, an artificial-intelligence expert, she embarks on a race against time in which science collides with the inexplicable and the blindness of those in power.
