ON THE FOOTPRINTS OF THE GHOST CLINIQUE is, above all, a social novel. It is constructed with the style of a crime novel, to facilitate the public access towards a more digestible literary type of fiction. The majority of the characters are marked by an immense social trauma. It is the tragedy of the genius student who couldn’t finish his studies because of his terrifying poverty, the sufferance of an ordinary man who couldn’t support his family with his own salary, and the dilemma of a young woman who decided to prostitute herself in order to survive. The secret and unlawful Clinique is the only possibility of some scientists to continue their medical researchers, using founds gathered in an illegal or fraudulent way.
