By Paulo Coelho

A stranger arrives in Viscos, a remote mountain village, carrying eleven gold bars. He will give the gold to the villagers if someone among them is murdered within a week, and he chooses a young barmaid, Chantal Prym, to carry his proposition to them. As the days pass, Chantal and her neighbors are tested by fear and greed. Completing the trilogy And on the Seventh Day, Paulo Coelho's novel asks whether people are good or evil at heart.
