Amada Carlota

Marta Robles crafts a story that shifts between past and present, in which the charismatic detective Tony Roures—hardened by war and heartbreak—must confront a deeply personal mystery: one that touches the heart of the woman he loves. The story begins in 1985, when a teenage girl gives birth to a baby girl in an underground clinic; she is immediately separated from the child after the delivery by the decision of her father, a powerful doctor with ties to the Francoist elite. Carlota Aguado—a judge with a strong personality and an enigmatic past—hires Detective Roures, with whom she shares an intense romantic relationship, to investigate her own case: the forced separation from the baby she gave birth to years earlier. Roures’s investigation will bring a shocking truth to light.
