Description
'Evokes the master of Barcelona-set narrative, Carlos Ruiz Zafon' Independent
When the death of a young witness in a case of human trafficking and voodoo provokes the normally calm Inspector Salgado to beat someone up, he is swiftly removed from the project. Instead, he is sent to investigate a teenager's fall to his death in one of Barcelona's uptown areas.
As Salgado begins to uncover the inconvenient truths behind the city's most powerful families, two seemingly unsolvable cases are set to implode under the hot Barcelona sun.
A Note From the Publisher

Advance Praise
A welcome corrective to snow-blindness from too much Nordic noir... excellent characterisation, a sympathetic and engaging protagonist and plenty of plot twists with a cliff hanger ending that sets things up nicely for the next in the series -Guardian
Entertaining debut - Times
A blast of hot air through the current frozen Nordic crime-writing landscape -Weekend Sport
Human trafficking, voodoo, the corruption of wealth and power, and sharp psychological insight. Don't miss - Literary Review
Reminiscent of Ian Rankin's John Rebus or Jo Nesbø's Harry Hole, Héctor Salgado is an intriguing new sleuth that crime fiction fans will want to follow as they explore the gritty side of another European city - Library Journal
