About the Book

TRAS EL ÉXITO DE BELLEZA ROJA, UN NUEVO CASO DE ABAD Y BARROSO: UNA EXCEPCIONAL INTRIGA DE CELOS Y VENGANZAS, POR LA NUEVA DAMA DE LA NOVELA NEGRA ESPAÑOLA

LIBRO DEL VERANO SEGÚN MARIE CLAIRE

«Arantza Portabales consigue que el lector sospeche de todos. [...] Negra, muy negra». -Carmen Mola

Úrsula Bas, escritora de éxito, lleva una vida aparentemente anodina en Santiago de Compostela. Un viernes de febrero sale de su casa para dar una charla en una biblioteca y no regresa. Su marido, Lois Castro, denuncia su desaparición al cabo de veinticuatro horas. Úrsula, que permanece encerrada en un sótano, conoce bien a su secuestrador --un admirador en cuyas redes se ha dejado envolver sin oponer la menor resistencia-- y sabe que tarde o temprano la matará.

El inspector Santi Abad, reincorporado al cuerpo de policía tras un año y medio de baja psiquiátrica, y su compañera Ana Barroso, que acaba de ser nombrada subinspectora, inician una búsqueda sin tregua con la ayuda del nuevo comisario, Álex Veiga. Todos sus pasos les dirigen hacia otro caso sin resolver: el de Catalina Fiz, desaparecida en Pontevedra tres años antes, y hacia un asesino que parece estar tomándose la justicia por su mano.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

AFTER THE SUCCESS OF BELLEZA ROJA (RED BEAUTY), A NEW CASE BY ABAD Y BARROSO: AN EXCEPTIONAL INTRIGUE OF JEALOUSY AND REVENGE, BY THE NEW LADY OF THE SPANISH NOIR

MARIE CLAIRE'S SUMMER BOOK RECOMMENDATION

«Arantza Portabales makes the reader suspicious of everyone. [...] Noir, very noir». -Carmen Mola

Úrsula Bas, a successful writer, lives an apparently unremarkable life in Santiago de Compostela. One Friday in February she leaves her house to give a talk in a library and does not return. Her husband, Lois Castro, reports her disappearance after twenty-four hours. Úrsula, who remains locked in a basement, knows her kidnapper well--a fan whose webs she has allowed herself to be wrapped up in without offering the slightest resistance--. She knows that sooner or later he will kill her.

Inspector Santi Abad who was reinstated to the police force after a year and a half on psychiatric leave, and his partner Ana Barroso, who has just been appointed deputy inspector, begin a relentless search with the help of the new commissioner, Álex Veiga. All their steps lead them towards another unresolved case: that of Catalina Fiz, who disappeared in Pontevedra three years earlier, and towards a murderer who seems to be taking justice into his own hands.
