Sub-inspector of the Judicial Police of Valencia, Jordi Lleonard, in the second case of his budding career, faces the murder of a young man in a complex investigation. As he progresses, he enters the claustrophobic and delusional space of a cult, where the control of consciences stifles its members to the point of suffocation. The dissection of the sectarian mentality leads to questioning cultural pillars, blurring the lines between good and evil, the past and the present, the material and the spiritual, the drug that cures and the one that kills. The city of Valencia becomes one more character, with its urban fabric, its buildings, and its history, creating an autonomous and threatening organism that interacts with the protagonists, providing doses of mystery, magic, and fascination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePolice investigation and suspense thriller.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe disappearance of the Holy Chalice and the mystery surrounding the relic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCult control and the manipulation of consciences.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe duality between good and evil, the material and the spiritual.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe city of Valencia as a living setting and key narrative element.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is recommended for readers who are fans of the police and mystery genre, especially those who enjoy complex plots with historical and social backgrounds.
