A gripping murder mystery set during a sultry summer in Barcelona, introducing Inspector Hector Salgado Inspector Hector Salgado is a transplanted Argentine living in Barcelona. He's got a fiery temper, a runaway wife, and would rather be watching his beloved films than interacting with people. He's also a brilliant cop.
When a young boy falls to his death from a balcony in one of Barcelona's ritzier neighborhoods, Salgado is brought on to investigate, despite having been on probation for an unfortunate moment of violence. As he begins to piece together the life and world of the victim, Salgado is thrust into the seedy underbelly of Spain's most popular city where he's brought face-to-face with human trafficking, voodoo, and shady characters that send shivers down even the most weathered cops. But Hector lives for this kind of case--dark, violent, and seemingly unsolvable. Whether or not this fierce, complex detective can withstand all of that as well as the hot Barcelona sun is the ultimate test.
