Pequenas infamias es una novela sobre las casualidades de la vida. Sobre las que se descubren por sorpresa, sobre las que no llegan a descubrirse y sin embargo marcan nuestro destino, y sobre las que se descubren pero se mantienen en secreto, porque hay verdades que no deberian saberse nunca. Puede leerse, tambien, como una satira de sociedad, como el retrato psicologico de una galeria de personajes, o como un apasionante relato de intriga, cuyo misterio no se resuelve hasta las ultimas paginas. En la casa de veraneo de un acaudalado coleccionista de arte se reune un variopinto grupo de personas. Juntas pasan unas cuantas horas y, a pesar de las frases agradables y los comentarios corteses, la relacion acabara envenenada por lo que no se dicen. Cada una de ellas esconde un secreto; cada una de ellas esconde una infamia. La realidad adquiere de pronto el caracter de un rompecabezas cuyas piezas se acercan y amenazan con acoplarse. El destino es caprichoso y se divierte creando extranas coincidencias.
