ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

YOU CAN'T GO ANY FARTHER.

The new installment in a series that has changed Spanish noir novel, winning over critics and more than half a million readers.

Inspector Elena Blanco walks across Madrid's Gr?a Municipal Mediod?a II lot until she reaches an old minivan expelling a putrid smell. Inside is the dead body of a man tied up to a chair, with a huge coarse seam ascending from his pubis to his abdomen. The autopsy's first results state that this relapsing drug addict had some of his organs pulled out and a seven-month-old fetus placed inside his belly. DNA analysis reveal it is his biological son. A few days later, the Case Analysis Brigade moves to the harbor region of A Coru?a, where a seventy-four-year-old tax advisor has been murdered with the same MO. What connects both victims? And where are the mothers of those babies? And so the investigation of a new and disturbing case for the CAB begins. While Elena and Z?rate's relationship becomes more and more complicated because of his torment over Chesca's death and Elena's obsession with adopting Nena, every clue will bring them closer to a mysterious organization where the country's powerful and untouchable pull the strings--an organization no one seems able to approach without getting killed.
