Anton Abadia (1810-1897) geografoa, astronomoa, hizkuntzalaria, etnografoa eta beste hainbat alorretako aditua izan zen. Egia esan, Abadiak hain zuen jakin-min handia ezen diziplina gutxi egin zitzaion arrotz. Izan ere, usadio zaharreko jakintsua izan zen. Urrutikoa interesatu zitzaion, eta Niloko iturburuak aurkitzea izan zuen bizitzaren ardatz, baina hurbilekoa inolaz ere ahaztu gabe; horren lekuko da euskara sustatzeko egin zuen funtsezko lana. Denboraren poderioz, haren lorpen zientifikoek distira galdu dute, baina haren biografia harrigarria da, Hendaian eraikiarazi zuen jauregia bezain harrigarria. Egun ere hor dago jauregia, Kantauri itsasoari ez ezik, zeruari ere begira. Iñigo Sagarzazuk asmatu du jakintsua bere garaian aurkezten, eta, gainera, oso modu erakargarrian.

En el Madrid de principios del siglo XX un fotógrafo capta por azar la imagen del anarquista que cometió el atentado contra Alfonso XII el día de su boda. El hecho desencadena una serie de acontecimientos coincidentes con un subito incremento de muertes aparentemente accidentales. Un agente de la seccion montada de la Guardia Municipal, sobrino del fotografo, lleva a cabo una investigacion con la ayuda de un amigo, inspector de la Policia Gubernativa, en un periplo por el Madrid de aquella epoca caracterizada por la introduccion de nuevas invenciones, por sus barrios tipicos, sus establecimientos caracteristicos los tradicionales lugares de entretenimiento. Como trasfondo, figura la relacion amorosa del guardia con una joven condicionada por un misterioso pasado, en unos momentos de agitacion social en los que proliferan movimientos revolucionarios y sociedades secretas con intereses ocultos. La obra aborda la problematica que supuso en las grandes ciudades como Madrid la llegada de los primeros automoviles, causando una gran preocupacion a las autoridades y a la Guardia Municipal, ya por entonces encargada del trafico urbano, por la gran cantidad de siniestros que provocaban.
