    About this ebook

    It was the beginning of a new school year in Portonuovo.
    Conrad was new in our school, new to the town and new
    to all of us. He was a shy boy. He came to school for
    a week and one day, and then, suddenly,
    he was not there any longer.

    Portonuovo is not a place for mysteries, and yet there
    are so many questions and so few answers.
