Jaque a Lucifer [Spanish]

By Maribel Barreiro

After a young man is found dead at the Fallen Angel statue in Madrid's Retiro Park, a police inspector and his young assistant take on the case. They are from different generations and have different tastes. Life has dealt Inspector López a bad hand, turning him into a survivor, a tenacious and thoughtful person, attached to tradition. He is not one to admire himself in the mirror while shaving. Alfredo, on the other hand, is spontaneous, a lover of speed and new technologies. He likes himself. They could not be more opposite or more complementary. In the course of the investigation, nothing is what it seems: the Russian mafia, cryptocurrencies, and Doyle, a small cybernetic dog, are the clues that will lead them to discover the causes. But what do a peculiar group of people who feign weakness while playing chess have to do with each other? Maribel Barreiro unravels an absorbing plot in this novel that addresses the arrogance of the haughty devil we all carry inside.
