Madrid, 1981. A pair of police inspectors investigates the fatal hit-and-run of a completely naked young woman whose autopsy reveals terrible injuries prior to the accident. Soon after, two girls of similar ages disappear. The three were last seen in bars. Thus begins an absorbing criminal intrigue, spanning two decades, in which the action and psychology of the characters are masterfully intertwined. The Madrid of the end of the Transition, where the fierce Francoist methods were still alive, contrasts with that of a democracy already established but exposed to the dangers of the globalized world. A novel that gives no respite to the reader thanks to the skillful handling of rhythm, suspense and violence, with an ending, as surprising as it is devastating, that makes us reflect on the complexity of the human being and its darkest areas, but also on the all-powerful force of love.
