ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The days of the La Ricarda estate are numbered. Death and a disappearance shatter the peace of lands already in the sights of developers eager to expand the El Prat airport.
Generations of the Domènech family have enjoyed a privileged and protected existence on the La Ferrera nature reserve at the mouth of the Llobregat river. That peace is broken when a body is discovered on their property during the annual municipal festival. Who murdered the girl found dead in a cane field? Why was she killed?
Levy, a reputable detective, is hired by Mateu Domènech to find the murderer. The crime isn’t the only tragedy confronting the family, however; the wife of Mateu’s cousin, a co-owner of the estate, has been missing for days. The death and the disappearance stir up family ghosts, mysteries and tensions already at the breaking point from the airport’s encroachment on their land.
A thriller set in a nature reserve in the Llobregat river delta. The secrets of the past and the political pressures of the present combine in a plot that underscores the important of respecting boundaries, both personal and geographic, to protect the things and people we love the most.
