After Black Ice (2011 Grijalbo Award), detective Andrea Mijangos and Lizzy Zubiaga, the queen of synthetic drugs, face each other again.

Óscar Salgado, owner of the Blue Chip brokerage house, is kidnapped and threatened to obtain the financial information of Lizzy Zubiaga, the queen of synthetic drugs. She decides to fully enter the money laundering business together with Salgado and his partner, Alberto Suárez. Her plan: create an international bank for high-level criminals. The only person who can stop her is former police officer Andrea Mijangos, with her new detective agency.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, a misanthropic comic book artist appears dead in a room locked from the inside, with no apparent violence or motive. These are Mijangos’ first cases as a private investigator, who remains obsessed with seeing Lizzy behind bars.

Aided by Járcor, her former colleague from the judicial police, and with the ambiguous friendship of Henry Dávalos, DEA agent, Andrea will come face to face with Russian arms traffickers, gangs of Armenian bank robbers and Albanian tobacco traffickers in the second installment of this exciting series.
