One freezing January night, sixteen-year-old Belén Villalba disappears in Almansa, a quiet town in La Mancha. Alma Ortega, a captain in the UCO who is going through a very hard time, leaves Madrid and returns to her home town to lead the investigation alongside the lieutenant in charge of the case: her older sister, with whom she has a long rivalry. Along the way she meets Irene, Belén's best friend, a teenage hacker, and Diego, an unemployed journalist.

Who it's for
For readers of Spanish crime fiction with a small-town setting, a police investigation and difficult family ties. The tone is dark and the story goes into the hardest side of adolescence.
Why people still read it
The publisher announces its 15th printing, and authors such as Juan Gómez-Jurado, Santiago Díaz and Benjamín Prado have praised it. In La Vanguardia, Lilian Neuman saw it as the start of a series of novels.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
