After the successful launch of the reissue of the Pepe Carvalho crime novels last fall, the private detective from Barcelona continues his investigations: This time, it revolves around Antonio Jaumá, the manager of an international corporation, who has not only been found dead but also in a lonely state. Pepe Carvalho is relentless, as he had previously encountered the victim in the USA. The fact that the deceased was found with a women's thong suggests a crime of passion—possibly even involving connections to the red-light district. However, the more Carvalho digs, the more resistance he faces from the highest echelons of politics and business: they apparently have something to hide.
