A crime novel set in Benidorm whose main character is a shady police officer in search of her father and a talisman lighter. While in her "Instant Trilogy of Madrid" novels (How to Stop Writing, Sánchez and the Fat Man at the Fair), Esther García Llovet depicts a nocturnal, marginal and almost surreal city, in "Spanish Beauty", the first instalment of the "Eastern European Trilogy", she depicts a Benidorm full of English mobsters, Russian millionaires, shabby basement pool halls and half-built sky scrapers, a city in which Michela is the boss, the corrupt police officer who needs to get back the lighter that used to belong to the legendary Kray Twins of 1960s London at any cost.
