Inspector Hector Salgado has just returned from an imposed holiday in
Buenos Aires. Superintendent Savall doesn't want him working on the
case which led to his suspension. So, Savall asks him to look into the
death of Joana Vidal's son as he doesn't think there is much to it.
Apparently Marc simply fell from a window, landing on his head.
Salgado
is given Agent Leire Castro to help with the investigation. They begin
their investigation at Marc's former school. Next, they visit Gina
Marti, Marc's girlfriend. They are surprised to find Marc's friend,
Aleix Rovira there. Castro is sure that Gina is leaving something out
of her story. She also finds out that Marc was wearing a different
t-shirt prior to his death. When they go through Marc's stuff they find
the original t-shirt with what appears to be blood stains on it.
As
Salgado and Castro's investigation continues, Rovira's name comes up in
interesting ways. Things take a twist when Gina commits suicide.
Salgado keeps thinking 'too many dead'. He also begins to wonder if the
deaths are tied to an event in the past. Due to the suspension case
hanging over Salgado, he feels his family is threatened. It strikes
close to home when his neighbour is brutally assaulted.
Tension
mounts as author Antonio Hill wraps up this intriguing murder mystery.
An intensely good read and I am looking forward to sequels.
