The last time Barcelona moved to break away, in the 1930s, Spain descended into civil war. A shallow grave is found among abandoned orange groves outside Valencia. Chief Inspector Max C�mara, heading up the new Special Crime Unit, is on the case--but he uncovers a tangled web that could decimate Barcelona and destabilize the whole country. The stakes are higher than anything he's ever known.

Sent on leave after his last, brutal, case, Max Camara returns to his home town in La Mancha, famous for producing the finest saffron in the world. His old friend Yago is investigating a particularly nasty murder which sets off memories Max has been trying to bury for years.

Either you kill the bull, or the bull kills you - traditional proverb.

That night, he is summoned back to the bullring where the young matador's dead body now lies, naked and mutilated. As the city prepares for Fallas, the five day festival of fireworks and celebrations, and the politicians work feverishly towards an election, Cámara hunts down his prey through the city's streets and bars. But as he follows the trail of death, money, corruption and sex in search of the killer, he must also battle his own demons and desires...

This narrative captures a young man's emotional coming of age while providing profound insights into the passionate essence of flamenco.
