by Marius Stankiewicz (Author)
A riveting debut noir novel that takes us from Brazil to Barcelona, with a millennial, political edge.
Lucas Brodowski, a rookie cop from Rio de Janeiro, is sent to Barcelona in search of his family's killer. But on arriving, he goes off the grid and decides to take matters into his own hands. He disguises himself as a chatarrero (scrap collector) and infiltrates an anarchical organization to gain intelligence on the whereabouts of El Catalan, the drug kingpin behind the murder of his mother, father, and adopted brother.
Before long Lucas finds himself in a strange love triangle with the organization's leader, Laia Requena, and with Alba Partagas, the CEO of Azure Capital. Lucas, however, is unaware that Alba is the person Laia is working to bring down for her role in tenant evictions from bank-owned properties and a corruption scandal. By a strange twist of fate, shocking surprises eventually come to light in a tense confrontation in Lucas's junk-filled loft.
