Sinossi
After a visit to Argentina, Spain's most famous detective Pepe Carvalho is back in his beloved Barcelona and is swiftly embroiled in a murderous scandal amid the murky politics of 21st-century Catalonia. When the son of a rich financier is murdered, Carvalho is called upon to investigate his mysterious death. In his quest for the killer, Carvalho has to infiltrate the world of Satanism and religious sects. Torn between two women - his on-off partner Charo and her eternal hesitations, and the enigmatic Yes, a lover from his youth, the bon vivant detective experiences a mid-life crisis. The professional and personal merge and a devastating betrayal leaves Carvalho fighting for his life.

TLS ?The most metaphysical gunshoe on the streets... the plot is as concerned with exploring capitalism malignancy as it is with corpses and femmes fatales? The Times ?Does for Barcelona what Chandler did for Los Angeles - exposes the criminal power relationships beneath the facade of democracy? Guardian
