M nica Melchor Alvarado, a subinspector in the Spanish National Police, has been suspended without pay by the Minister's direct order. Forced to leave her badge and service weapon on her chief's desk, she walks out of the police station carrying the rage of a woman who knows she's been framed.
A dead drug dealer has turned up in M nica's apartment. Cocaine's been planted beside the body. Her career, her freedom, and her name are suddenly on the line.
Known as Subim , M nica starts her own investigation, following a trail that leads her to a secondhand bookshop in the city's underworld, where the case takes an unexpected turn. From that moment on, Subim 's investigation opens onto a dangerous network of corruption, stolen artwork, hidden interests, and powerful men who'll do whatever it takes to protect their secrets.
Before she's police, M nica is a woman: fierce, obstinate, intuitive, and unwilling to surrender her dignity or her conscience.
Subim is the first novel in the Subinspector Subim series: a story of police intrigue, romantic tension, action, and moral conflict, where the truth's never harmless and loyalty can become the most dangerous choice of all.
