Intrigue, action, corruption, bad deals, lawyers on the margins of the law. Trails and evidence that gradually unravel to reveal a twisted plot which confounds with every chapter. The equal of the American greats of the genre, Spanish author Carmen Gurruchaga takes on the legal thriller to show that Spanish reality can be as, or more, enthralling than the life beyond its borders. With flesh and blood characters, and a puzzling case whose pieces fit together perfectly, the book exposes many of the situations which we experience and read about daily.
