Petra Delicado returns to the scene of the black genre of our homeland literature with a new case to unravel before the serial killer on duty continues to skew lives. His first victim was a mature woman, on whose lying body he left a letter to express his macabre love and the spite that led to his sinister performance.
The case seems to be tailor-made for Petra Delicado, and the great inspector arranges it with her usual diligence. But in this case a young inspector from the Mossos d'Esquadra d takes the lead. Without really knowing why, Petra is relegated to a secondary role, under the command of this other inspector who appeared out of nowhere.
Petra senses how something escapes her to end up in that subordinate position after so many years of work. With a certain point of frustration that will also move the plot, the inspector begins her investigations around what seems like a serial killer who is spreading his macabre love everywhere.
The balance between the intriguing events of the case and Petra's search for the ultimate truth, both in the case and in her professional "degradation", is a particular attraction that places our beloved inspector in a special position, on a string lazy that can make her weaker, or less attentive to the details that had always made her an incomparable investigator.
On many occasions the work done without the maximum attention paid, causes mistakes and errors. And failures in a criminal investigation can lead to dire consequences ...
