Notes

Description
An urban, addictive and fast-paced novel. The new revelation of the thriller in Castilian. Inspector Elsa Giralt is a bit of a fox. From being the first in the class, she has gone on to see how her husband left her for her best friend and her partner was left quadriplegic after a shooting in which she believes that she could have done something else. Too much punishment for someone who had done nothing to deserve it. So now, Elsa seeks oblivion - momentary or permanent, whichever comes first - in the bottom of a gin bottle. But life is capricious and one bad morning, precisely at the door of his house, the corpse of a young woman appears - a beauty, everything is said - who has died with a stab in the side and a smile on her lips: a binomial curious that it leaves no one indifferent. Neither Elsa, who clings to the case like a burning nail, aware that it may be her last chance before seeing her career, and even her life, evaporate into nothingness. With the unexpected help of Santi - another cop who has not been told that the Dirty Harry type is no longer getting along - he begins to pull the thread until he discovers that what seemed like another case of sexist violence is connected to the recent robbery of a jewelry of the city in which the loot exceeded twenty million euros. A hit that bears the unmistakable stamp of the most daring and sought-after gang of jewel thieves on the planet: the veterans of the Balkan war known worldwide as the Pink Panthers.
Description
Una novela urbana, adictiva y trepidante. La nueva revelación del thriller en castellano. La inspectora Elsa Giralt está hecha unos zorros. De ser la primera de la clase ha pasado a ver como su marido la dejaba por su mejor amiga y su compañero quedaba tetrapléjico tras un tiroteo en el que ella cree que pudo haber hecho algo más. Demasiado castigo para alguien que no había hecho nada para merecerlo. Así que, ahora, Elsa busca el olvido -momentáneo o definitivo, lo que llegue primero- en el fondo de una botella de ginebra. Pero la vida es caprichosa y una mala mañana, precisamente a la puerta de su casa, aparece el cadáver de una joven -un bellezón, todo sea dicho- que ha muerto con una puñalada en el costado y una sonrisa en los labios: un binomio curioso que no deja a nadie indiferente. Tampoco a Elsa, que se agarra al caso como a un clavo ardiendo, consciente de que puede ser su última oportunidad antes de ver como su carrera, y hasta su vida, se evaporan en la nada. Con la ayuda inesperada de Santi -otro poli a quien no le han contado que el tipo Harry el Sucio ya no se lleva- empieza a tirar del hilo hasta descubrir que lo que parecía otro caso de violencia machista está conectado con el reciente atraco a una joyería de la ciudad en el que el botín superó los veinte millones de euros. Un golpe que lleva el sello inconfundible de la banda de ladrones de joyas más audaz y buscada del planeta: los veteranos de la guerra de los Balcanes mundialmente conocidos como los Pink Panthers.
