Summary

El periodista Jordi Basté y el escritor Marc Artigau presentan el primer caso del detective privado Albert Martínez, un investigador barcelonés muy especial, sibarita y seductor, que debe esclarecer las causas de la desaparición de un hombre y se sumerge en la oscura historia de una familia de la alta burguesía.


Una noche de primavera, mientras está cenando en la Barceloneta con un viejo amigo de la universidad, el detective privado Albert Martínez es testigo de una escena inquietante: dos hombres se acercan al espigón de la Mar Bella, la zona más peligrosa, gesticulando como si discutieran. Al cabo de un rato, solo regresa uno.


Así arranca una apasionante investigación que lo llevará a descubrir los secretos más oscuros de una adinerada e influyente familia de la ciudad.

Junto al singular detective Albert Martínez, nos adentramos en una historia tan original como lo es la propia Barcelona gastronómica, nocturna y oculta donde se desarrolla la acción.

Una novela inteligente que atrapa al lector con una pregunta desde la primera página: ¿qué pasó aquella noche en el espigón?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Journalist Jordi Basté and writer Marc Artigau present the first case of private detective Albert Martínez, a very special investigator, epicure, and seducer from Barcelona, who must untangle the causes of a man’s disappearance, and who ends up immersed in the dark history of an upper-class family.

One spring night, while dining with an old college friend in La Barceloneta, private detective Albert Martínez is a witness to a disturbing scene: two men approach the most dangerous part of the Mar Bella jetty, gesticulating as if they were arguing. After awhile, only one comes back.

Thus begins a thrilling investigation that will lead the detective to discover the darkest secrets of a wealthy, influential family.

Along with extraordinary detective Albert Martínez, we delve into a story as original as the gastronomic, nocturnal, hidden Barcelona where the action takes place. This is an intelligent novel that engrosses the reader from the first page with a question: what happened that night on the jetty?
