Juan Gomez-Jurado's books have been translated into more than 40 languages. Antonia Scott has an eidetic memory. She remembers everything she read or heard. She never wore a badge or used a weapon, but during her career she solved dozens of crimes. After her husband suffered through her fault, Antonia retired. Now she lives in an empty apartment and eats what her neighbors bring. Twice a day she calls her grandmother, and spends her nights in the hospital. But they come for her and ask for help... In the safest place in Spain, in an elite area of Madrid (or more precisely, in the elite part of an elite area), a body was found. The murdered man is sixteen , he lies in a chair, in an unnatural position, in his hand - a glass filled with his own blood, his hair is thickly oiled with olive oil, and his lips are stretched in the semblance of a smile. Antonia remembers this - Psalm 23: “...You anointed my head with oil - a cup mine is full.” Antonia heard it when she was little. She remembers because she remembers everything. How did the killer get into the most guarded place in Spain? Why are there no signs of struggle on the body if the blood was released slowly and very painfully? And why is information about this case so carefully guarded?
