El balanceo del Alacrán

In 2022, the fishing vessel Alacrán sank off the coast of Canada following a severe storm, with only two of its twenty-four crew members surviving. After the trial to determine the causes of the disaster began, Raúl Barros—president of the conglomerate that owned the vessel—was found dead alongside his only daughter, with whom he had long been estranged. This event triggers a complex corporate power struggle as members of the Galician shipping company’s board vie for control of the firm. Inspector Tristán Negreira and Sub-Inspector Virginia Almada, of the National Police Homicide Unit in Vigo, are tasked with investigating the double homicide—a crime with motives rooted deep in the past.
