La Bala Mágica
Marta es una periodista con un sexto sentido para detectar las mentiras que se publican y los intereses que a veces hay detrás de ellas. Ese talento natural hace que el Estado se interese por sus servicios y la contrata en una unidad especial de carácter reservado destinada a luchar contra la desinformación.
Una vieja teoría de la conspiración capta su atención: “las empresas energéticas llevan años ocultando que la basura puede convertirse en combustible”. A medida que avanza en la investigación, Marta se va convenciendo de que quizá no se trate de un bulo. Comienza a creer que ha habido desapariciones de científicos, informes destruidos, periodistas que han salido de los medios en los que trabajaban… Incluso empieza a sospechar de sus propios jefes y de algunos de los expertos que le han ayudado a desentrañar otras teorías.
