Carmen Fernández Villalba

A fast-paced thriller full of contrasts, centring on two very different women forced to work together in a race against time.

Sílvia, an executive living in the most exclusive and upmarket part of Barcelona, discovers that her son Martí has failed to turn up for his latest session of the rehabilitation therapy he has been undergoing for months. It is then that her worst fears are confirmed: Martí has vanished without a trace. The only news she has of him is a message saying: ‘Don’t look for me’.

After trying to report his disappearance to the police, Sílvia decides to investigate on her own and manages to get hold of Moni, Martí’s ex-girlfriend – an eccentric young woman who deals in cocaine to fulfil her dream of moving to Tonga, a paradise island in the South Seas. Soon Moni also realises she has a reason to track him down: Martí has stolen the last bundle she was keeping at home, which would finally have given her enough money to leave.

Distrusting one another, Sílvia and Moni will delve into Barcelona’s dangerous underworld, where they’ll have to face violence and the threat of El Tigre, the boss of a foreign mafia who could make their worst nightmares come true…
