In an exclusive suburb of Seville, Spain, a wealthy couple is found dead in their home, the tragic conclusion to an apparent suicide pact. Lucia Vega has been suffocated in her own bed, while her husband, construction magnate Rafael Vega, has succumbed to poison, a bizarre note clutched in his hand. When Inspector Javier Falc̤n is called to investigate the scene, he senses something is not as it seems-a hunch that proves all too true. Within two days, two more dubious suicides occur, a fire rages through the hills above the city, and Falc̤n himself receives ominous threats from the Russian mafia. Embroiled in a conspiracy much larger than it originally appeared, Falc̤n must uncover the secrets that were buried with the dead, before the gruesome body count rises even higher
