About the Book

«No hay mejor escritora en castellano que Rosa Montero.» Juan Gómez Jurado

Es de noche y en el puerto de Barcelona un guardia hace su ronda cuando su pastora alemana se para en seco a olfatear un contenedor. Al llegar, los mossos hallan en su interior a una mujer inconsciente y deshidratada. Tiene una brecha en la sien, quemaduras en la cara y el cuerpo, y no recuerda quién es ni cuál es su lengua materna, pero está viva. Mientras se recupera en el Hospital Clínic, un hombre intenta asesinarla. La inspectora Anna Ripoll, experta en trata de mujeres, parece haber dado con su identidad y su dirección: Alicia Garone; 19, rue du Chariot, Lyon. En la ciudad francesa el inspector Erik Zapori busca el modo de librarse de la investigación a la que asuntos internos lo está sometiendo por delitos de corrupción y proxenetismo. Nada mejor que viajar a España a ayudar en la resolución de este caso, aunque pueda ser el más complejo de su vida.

Rosa Montero, una de las autoras más queridas y premiadas en lengua española, vuelve a la novela negra, esta vez acompañada por Olivier Truc, ganador del Premio Quais du Polar, el más prestigioso galardón francés del género policiaco.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"There is no better writer in the Spanish language than Rosa Montero." --Juan Gómez Jurado

It is nighttime, and a guard at the Barcelona harbor is making his rounds when his German Shepherd halts to sniff a container. When the police arrive, they find an unconscious dehydrated woman inside. She has a cut on her temple, burns over her face and body, and cannot remember who she is or what her mother tongue is, but she is alive. While recuperating at the Hospital Clínic, a man tries to kill her. Inspector Anna Ripoll, expert in trafficking in women, seems to have found her name and address--Alicia Garone, 19 Rue du Chariot, Lyon. At the French city, inspector Erik Zapori is looking for a way out of the investigation Internal Affairs has put him under for crimes of corruption and procurement. Nothing better than traveling to Spain to help solve this case, although it well may be the most challenging of his life.

Rosa Montero, one the most beloved and laureate authors in the Spanish language, returns to crime fiction, this time accompanied by Olivier Truc, winner of the Quais du Polar Prize, the most prestigious French award for crime novels.
