The volcanic ash of Etna covers the city of Catania and the deputy commissioner of the Judicial Police, Giovanna Garrasi, known as Vanina, faces a new case: discover what is hidden in the body of a woman found in a villa in Sciara. The circumstances could not be more extraordinary: the house, with a stately air and practically abandoned since 1959, is in ruins and the body is mummified. Identifying the body and determining the cause of death will be like going through a time tunnel. Decades ago, the town was already the scene of a famous crime. Are both deaths related?
In his effort to clear up the mystery, the deputy commissioner will find an unexpected ally: Commissioner Biagio Patanè, who, bored by retirement, will be happy to search through her memories to help her. The tenacious deputy commissioner will bring to light a surprising story of greed and rancor that everyone believed buried, but that will drag on until the present, leaving behind a trail of blood.

After a few years with more shadows than lights between Colombia, Mexico and Iraq, Max returns to Madrid in 2004. In a bar, the city and the memory of Elsa will fall on him, when he discovers among its bottles the sculpture of Bastet that adorned El Blue cat. There he will find Robocop, a former partner from his time as a bodyguard in the Basque Country, and now under the orders of SK, an unscrupulous businessman who will offer him an astronomical sum for risking his life to rescue his daughter. Sibyl, fallen into the hands of the ruthless Bulgarian mafia. But this has only just begun...
After I smoke to forget that you drink and My price is none, this new installment of the series starring Max Lomas —already an inexcusable reference within the black crime scene in Spanish— presents us with a story that is as harsh and disbelieving as it is illuminated by explosions of the most intelligent humor, which updates and pays tribute to the classics of the genre alike.
