The Man in the Linen Suit

El hombre del traje de lino

Half a million dollars for a hole in a tree. Bautista Roldán buys lost wonders for a living, and he has never met a 'no' that lasted long — while upriver, something is drinking the desert dry.

Part 3 of 4 in The Tree That Watched the Sky

El hombre esperaba junto a la camioneta, con un traje de lino claro sin una sola mancha de polvo rojo. En Andasoa eso era casi imposible. «Doctor Aristarain» —dijo con una sonrisa tranquila.
