El club de fútbol más rico del mundo recibe en sus oficinas un anónimo en el que se amenaza de muerte al recién fichado delantero centro del equipo, Jack Mortimer. Los directivod del club contratan al detective Carvallho para que inicie la investigación, haci´ndose pasar por psicólogo para poder andar a sus anchas por el mundo deportivo sin levantar las sospechas de la prensa. Even though I am sufficiently unknowledgeable about soccer (or, as it's called in this book, football) that a lot of the details went right by me, I enjoyed this Pepe Carvalho novel probably more than the others I've read. There was less violence, and more food and philosophy as Carvalho is called to investigate death threats to the new star soccer player brought to the premier Barcelona team from England. In the course of the investigation, the book explores the changes in Barcelona, real estate speculation, drug addiction and prostitution, and the power structure, and introduces a variety of interesting characters. If I have any complaint, it's that Carvalho's usual hangers-on are relegated to very peripheral roles. But all in all, this was a satisfying read. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

?The centre forward will be killed at dusk...? To revive its sagging fortunes, Barcelona FC has bought the services of Jack Mortimer, European Footballer of the Year. No sooner has Mortimer taken possession of his company Porsche than death threats start arriving. Are they a hoax, the work of a loner or are they connected to the awesome real estate speculation that is tearing Barcelona apart? While Catalan pimps and racketeers are being hustled off the streets by crime syndicates from the Middle East, Pepe Carvalho is thinking of retirement, but the need to save the soul of his beloved Barcelona forces him to take on a case that can only end in disaster.
