The much-awaited return of Inspector Petra Delicado. 2,000,000 readers worldwide.
The previous book in the Petra Delicado series finished with an unexpected twist that left all her fans in a state of shock. In this highly anticipated new instalment, the inspector must go back to work and pick up the pieces after the devastating personal tragedy she has suffered. At the police station, no one quite knows how to offer Petra the words of consolation that, as we already know, she never asks for or appears to need.
She now focuses her attention on a strange crime: a Jesuit priest has been found murdered in a poor neighbourhood of Barcelona, where he offered spiritual guidance to struggling teenagers in his parish. But the case, in which neither the victim nor the suspects are what they seem, soon develops complex ramifications.
On this occasion, the inspector will have to rely on more than just her intuition and unshakeable pragmatism if she wants to find the killer. And only Sub-Inspector Garzón, always as unwelcome as he is necessary, is aware of the inner turmoil hidden behind Petra's facade –and only that– of icy fortitude.
