Synopsis
As a sweltering Seville recovers from the shock of a terrorist attack, Inspector Jefe Javier Falcón is struggling to find the bombers. The death of a gangster in a spectacular car crash offers vital evidence implicating the Russian mafia in his investigation, but it pitches Falcón into the heart of a turf war over prostitution and drugs. Now the target of vicious hoods, Falcón finds those closest to him are also coming under intolerable pressure: his best friend, who’s spying for the Spanish government, reveals that he is being blackmailed by Islamist extremists, and Falcón’s own lover suffers a mother’s worst nightmare. He might be able to bring the perpetrators of the bombing to justice, but there will be a devastating price to pay.

Condition: Muy bueno. : En una Sevilla sofocante que se recupera del impacto de un ataque terrorista, el inspector jefe Javier Falcón lucha por cumplir su promesa a los ciudadanos: encontrar a los verdaderos autores del atentado. La muerte de un gángster en un espectacular accidente de coche ofrece pruebas vitales que implican a la mafia rusa en su investigación, pero lanza a Falcón al corazón de una guerra territorial por la prostitución y las drogas. Ahora, blanco de viciosos matones, Falcón descubre que sus allegados también están sufriendo una presión intolerable: su mejor amigo, que espía para el gobierno español, revela que está siendo chantajeado por extremistas islamistas, y la propia amante de Falcón sufre la peor pesadilla de una madre. Ante tal fanatismo y brutalidad, sus opciones parecen limitadas y Falcón se da cuenta de que sólo la represalia más despiadada funcionará. Pero hay un precio terrible que pagar.
