ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A very noir novel that's 99% real.

"Xus Gonz lez knows police work better than anybody and is as passionate about it as he is about recounting fictional cases. That's what makes his books so authentic."- El Mundo

One name is heard over and over again in the criminal circles of southern Barcelona: Karim Hassani, a violent assailant who is the scourge of his rivals in the drug trade and a recurring nightmare for law enforcement. He and his gang are expanding their empire with no real opposition ... until an even bigger fish appears.

For her part, Silvia Mercado, a determined member of the regional police force, faces a dilemma: follow the orders of her superiors or trust her instincts and believe in the innocence of a criminal who knows too much to end up in jail. Those with a stake in the game include mafia lawyers, conmen, extremist groups with investments in local nightlife, and a wizard's apprentice dreaming of trap stardom.
