Summary

Tras el éxito de Belleza roja y La vida secreta de Úrsula Bas, llega el nuevo caso de Abad y Barroso, por una de las voces más poderosas de la novela negra española

«Arantza Portabales consigue que el lector sospeche de todos. [...] Negra, muy negra». -Carmen Mola

«Arantza Portabales: recuerden este nombre». -J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El Correo
 
Santiago de Compostela, 2021: seis amigos acuden a una cena de reencuentro tras más de dos décadas sin verse. Durante el espectáculo de fuegos artificiales previos a la festividad del Apóstol, un disparo a bocajarro acaba con la vida de uno de ellos. Pronto quedará patente que la clave del asesinato se remonta a lo sucedido en el piso de menores tutelados que compartieron de adolescentes: el suicidio de Antía Morgade después de que uno de sus educadores, Héctor Vilaboi, abusara de ella. Tras una condena de veinte años de prisión, Vilaboi acaba de salir a la calle, pero ha desaparecido sin dejar rastro. El inspector Santiago Abad y la subinspectora Ana Barroso deberán enfrentarse a la resolución de un crimen en el que todos los indicios apuntan al «hombre que mató a Antía Morgade», pero, a medida que una serie de secretos inesperados salgan a la luz, ambos tendrán que encontrar la manera de sobreponerse a sí mismos para evitar un nuevo asesinato.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

After the success of Belleza roja and La vida secreta de Úrsula Bas, comes a new case for Abad and Barroso, by one of the most powerful voices in the Spanish noir genre.
 
“Arantza Portabales makes the reader suspicious of everyone. [...] Noir, very noir.” -Carmen Mola
 
“Arantza Portabales: remember her name.” -J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El Correo
 
Santiago de Compostela, 2021. Six friends attend a reunion dinner after more than two decades without seeing each other. During the fireworks display, the prelude to the Apostle Santiago Festival, one of them is shot at close range and dies. It will soon become clear that the key to this murder goes back to what happened at the children’s home they shared as teenagers: the suicide of Antía Morgade, due to being abused by one of her educators, Héctor Vilaboi. After a twenty-year prison sentence, Vilaboi has gone back to the streets, but he has disappeared without a trace. Now, Inspector Santiago Abad and Deputy Inspector, Ana Barroso, will have to find the answer to a crime in which all the leads point to “the man who killed Antía Morgade”, but, as a series of unexpected secrets come to light, they will have to find a way to rise above the situation if they want to avoid another murder.
