Jaque a Lucifer

After a young man is found dead at the statue of the Fallen Angel in Madrid's Retiro Park, a police inspector and his young assistant take on the case. They are from different generations and have different tastes. Inspector López has been dealt harsh blows in life, forging a survivor, a tenacious and thoughtful man, attached to tradition. He's not one to linger in the mirror while shaving. Alfredo, on the other hand, is spontaneous, a lover of speed and new technologies. He likes himself. They couldn't be more opposite, nor more complementary. During the investigation, nothing is as it seems: the Russian mafia, cryptocurrencies, and Doyle, a small cybernetic dog, are the clues that will lead them to uncover the truth. But what do a peculiar group of people who feign weakness while playing chess have in common? Maribel Barreiro unfolds a gripping plot in this novel that explores the arrogance of the haughty devil we all carry within us.
