Un policía investigador de la vieja escuela auto exiliado en el área de archivos; un abogado erudito y bohemio atrapado en un anodino puesto burocrático y una bella psicóloga especializada en trastornos del sueño y perseguida por fantasmas del pasado: tres vidas entrelazadas en el marco de una trama sutil que desemboca en un final sublime. Un policía investigador de la vieja escuela auto exiliado en el área de archivos; un abogado erudito y bohemio atrapado en un anodino puesto burocrático y una bella psicóloga especializada en trastornos del sueño y perseguida por fantasmas del pasado: tres vidas entrelazadas en el marco de una trama sutil que desemboca en un final sublime. En la mejor tradición de la novela negra latinoamericana, Sergio Ochoa teje en Minotauro un relato de ambientes oscuros y personajes enigmáticos que mantienen vilo al lector y, como quien no quiere la cosa, página tras página se va adentrando en una serie de vericuetos filosóficos aderezados con un toque de humorismo un tanto turbio.

― No início não havia nada, a não ser a luz. Pelo menos isso era o que me tinha dito, e também que isso seria, precisamente, o que veria nos meus últimos momentos. No entanto, aquilo não era o que eu esperava. Sentia-me estranhamente leve, como se todas as preocupações que me andavam a atormentar nestes dias se tivessem desvanecido. ― No início não havia nada, a não ser a luz.

Sentia-me estranhamente leve, como se todas as preocupações que me andavam a atormentar nestes dias se tivessem desvanecido. Nem sequer a pressa que me fizera acelerar tanto na estrada, tinha agora o mínimo interesse para mim. Sentia-me tranquilo, leve, sem preocupações. Parecia ver tudo agora com mais clareza e perspetiva. Na verdade, tinha desperdiçado demasiado tempo da minha vida com tanto esforço desnecessário em aparências e para conseguir alcançar mais do que os outros, que agora tudo me parecia tão banal.
