In 1888, the Spanish consul in Bordeaux prepares to repatriate Francisco de Goya's body to Spain, but discovers that the skeleton is missing its head. To solve the mystery, he hires the most famous detective in Paris, who will investigate Goya's life in Bordeaux, his relationships with other Spanish exiles, and his family life with Leocadia Zorrilla and her daughter Rosario. The investigation also involves two young people who helped Goya in his last days: Juliet, a passionate governess, and Diego "El Niño", a brave bodyguard. Based on the real disappearance of Goya's skull, Javier Alandes creates a novel full of action, emotion, and mystery, exploring the redemptive capacity of art and the importance of preserving cultural heritage.
