The curious incident of the dog in the night-time

15-year-old Christopher has an extraordinary mind: he is exceptional at mathematics, but finds the uncertainties of everyday life far harder to navigate. He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road, he detests being touched, and he distrusts strangers. Now it is 7 minutes after midnight, and Christopher stands beside his neighbor's dead dog, Wellington, who has been speared with a garden fork. Finding himself under suspicion, Christopher is determined to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington. But his detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a thrilling journey that turns his world upside down.Christopher, de quince años, tiene una mente extraordinaria: es excepcional en matemáticas, pero le cuesta mucho más orientarse entre las incertidumbres de la vida cotidiana.

Ahora pasan siete minutos de la medianoche, y Christopher está junto al perro muerto de su vecina, Wellington, atravesado por una horca de jardín. Al verse bajo sospecha, Christopher decide resolver el misterio de quien mató a Wellington. Pero su investigación, prohibida por su padre, lo empuja a un viaje emocionante que cambia completamente su mundo.
