Więcej o książce

Rafael Molinet Rojas, a quiet Spaniard in London, finds life unbearable after his mother’s death. He plans a dramatic exit using sleeping pills at Morocco’s luxurious L’Hirondelle d’Or, hoping to escape his troubles while enjoying backgammon and the sun in a white caftan. Just before his departure, a lunch with his lively niece reveals a scandal: Jaime Valdés, a notorious lothario, has died under suspicious circumstances, choking in front of both his mistress and wife, igniting speculation of murder across Spain. Upon arriving at the resort, Molinet discovers that Valdés’s widow is lounging by the pool. As gossipy Europeans gather, it becomes evident that beneath the resort's serene facade, dark events are unfolding. Molinet’s curiosity leads him into a web of intrigue, where his eavesdropping uncovers shocking revelations. This high-society mystery, crafted by internationally bestselling author Carmen Posadas, blends humor and suspense in a way reminiscent of Agatha Christie’s classic whodunits. The narrative artfully intertwines the allure of luxury with the darker aspects of privilege and crime, creating a captivating tale.
