A unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of Petra Delicado through six cases brought together for the first time.
Petra Delicado has never been a conventional police officer. Feminist, sharp-witted, and relentless, she tackles each case with razor-sharp intuition and humor as her shield. Alongside her steadfast yet grumpy deputy inspector, Fermín Garzón, she delves into investigations where the grotesque and the tragic go hand in hand.
From the body of an elderly prostitute discarded like a broken doll to secrets hidden behind the façade of impeccable families, these six stories showcase Alicia Giménez-Bartlett’s mastery. Sinister mysteries, unexpected twists, and Petra’s unmistakable voice unfold in a series of cases that put both her tenacity and her humanity to the test.
Collected in a single volume, these stories reveal the sharp, literary gaze of an author who turns the streets into a labyrinth of enigmas and crafts one of the most irresistible duos in crime fiction.
