Two murders occur almost simultaneously: the first victim is the minister’s young mistress, the second is a famous journalist, author of glossy magazines and host of a popular television program. The guests of his program were famous people, with whom he behaved in no way like a gentleman, in his “revelations” he did not disdain the most scandalous rumors and gossip. He made many enemies, and many dreamed of taking revenge on him. More and more murders are confusing the police, and the circle of suspects is expanding so much that few people believe in the successful completion of this case. The investigation is being conducted by police inspector Petra Delicado and her faithful assistant Fermin Garzon - the heroes of the detective series that brought the Spanish writer Alicia Jimenez Bartlett world fame and major literary awards, both national and international (the Grinzane Cavour, Raymond Chandler, Nadal, "Planet" and etc.).
