Denis seems to have been victim of a strange conspiracy. A false accusation, a mysterious suicide, a powerful family with much to hide These are some of the clues that will take Orizaola, through the course of a relentless read, searching for a secret lost in the labyrinthine roads of deep Bizkaia, while struggling to solve the most important case of his life." -- ONIX annotation.
