Spain's most famous detective goes Latin!

PI Pepe Carvalho returns in the first Montalban mystery in five years. This time our hero leaves his beloved Barcelona to unearth family secrets within a land in serious social and political turmoil. As Carvalho helps his cousin search for his daughter, who went missing in the time of the generals, Argentina's troubled history comes into focus.

Montalban's unique mix of socialist politics, sexual intrigue, and cultural underworlds is given a new twist against this South American backdrop.
