Anna Silber, professional journalist and occasional detective, arrives for the first time in Barcelona with the aim of writing an alternative travel guide to the city. However, this daughter of a recently deceased German man and a Catalan woman also hopes to find some pieces of her past that will help her build and affirm her identity, thus overcoming a bitter personal crisis. The city where she lands in Nothing resembles the clichés shown on the postcards, and it doesn't take him long to discover that the inhabitants of the neighborhood where he is staying live in fear of what seems to be a serial killer. At the same time that she is dragged by the maelstrom of an unbridled cultural life, Anna begins to find herself involved in a shocking plot in which real estate speculation, Eastern European mafias and a series of enigmatic rites seem to establish strange links.In the best tradition of the Barcelona crime novel by González Ledesma and Vázquez Montalbán, Stefanie Kremser immerses us in a captivating police plot to offer us a spectacular portrait of modern-day Barcelona in which depth of field and chiaroscuro predominate.
