El pasajero ; Stella Maris

The passenger: 1980, Mississippi. It's three in the morning when Bobby Western dives into the sea of ??the Gulf of Mexico in his wetsuit and illuminates the sunken plane with his diving light: nine bodies with their seat belts still fastened. The black box and the tenth passenger are missing. But how is it possible? A collateral witness to machinations that can only harm him, Bobby is overshadowed in body and spirit by men with badges, by the ghost of his father (one of the inventors of the Hiroshima bomb) and by his sister, the love and ruin of his soul. Stella Maris: 1972, Wisconsin. Twenty-year-old Alicia Western is admitted to a psychiatric hospital carrying forty thousand dollars in a plastic bag. A doctoral student in Mathematics, Alicia has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and she doesn't want to talk about her brother Bobby. She prefers to contemplate the nature of madness, study the intersection between physics and philosophy, and plant cohorts, chimeras, and hallucinations.
