ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONAFTER THE SUCCESS OF BELLEZA ROJA (RED BEAUTY), A NEW CASE BY ABAD Y BARROSO: AN EXCEPTIONAL INTRIGUE OF JEALOUSY AND REVENGE, BY THE NEW LADY OF THE SPANISH NOIR MARIE CLAIRE'S SUMMER BOOK RECOMMENDATION «Arantza Portabales makes the reader suspicious of everyone. [...] Noir, very noir . -Carmen Mola ?rsula Bas, a successful writer, lives an apparently unremarkable life in Santiago de Compostela. One Friday in February she leaves her house to give a talk in a library and does not return. Her husband, Lois Castro, reports her disappearance after twenty-four hours. ?rsula, who remains locked in a basement, knows her kidnapper well--a fan whose webs she has allowed herself to be wrapped up in without offering the slightest resistance--. She knows that sooner or later he will kill her. Inspector Santi Abad who was reinstated to the police force after a year and a half on psychiatric leave, and his partner Ana Barroso, who has just been appointed deputy inspector, begin a relentless search with the help of the new commissioner, ?lex Veiga. All their steps lead them towards another unresolved case: that of Catalina Fiz, who disappeared in Pontevedra three years earlier, and towards a murderer who seems to be taking justice into his own hands.
