THE NEW CASE OF “THE BOOKS OF THE HIDDEN PORT” MORE THAN 1,000,000 READERS
There are two weeks left until the wedding of Lieutenant Valentina Redondo and Oliver Gordon. In the midst of preparations, they are surprised by the news of a massive attack at the Water Temple of the famous Cantabrian spa of Puente Viesgo.
The facilities of the idyllic water paradise were occupied by a group of businessmen, and everything points to the fact that the massacre was perpetrated with a very dangerous chemical weapon. Valentina will have to cooperate with the army and a team from the UCO to solve the crime.
They will soon discover that a clever and cruel brain has set in motion an infallible machine, executing each of its movements with extraordinary coldness, in a clear challenge to the intelligence and deductive skills of Valentina and the reader himself. Lieutenant Redondo will come to doubt the steps she must take, because suspicions will soon fall on someone she has never seen but who, deep down, she feels she knows. Danger is a heartbeat that never goes out.
