On a more personal level, she is also there to unravel the mystery surrounding why her mother left her twenty-years ago. As part of her assignment, Dani meets the brooding, moody Carlos Escudero, a famous tango dancer, who helps her with her story. Carlos inadvertently gets Dani curious about the circumstances surrounding a local unsolved murder of a 1950s tango music legend, and being a journalist, she tries to delve deeper into the mystery. Of course, none of Dani’s relationships or decisions in the novel are straightforward. As Carlos points out to her, tango, like love, is indeed complicated.
