El caso de las japonesas muertas / The Case of the Dead Japanese Girls
Sofía Luna Series, 2
Inspector Sofía Luna returns in a spellbinding plot that delves into the darkest aspects of the human condition.
The murder of several Japanese tourists in Madrid confronts Inspector Sofía Luna with a complex case linked to the world of organised travel. The victims belong to a unique group of asexual people who reject the hyper-sexuality of modern life.
At the same time, Inspector Luna must face an unexpected personal dilemma: her father, with whom she has broken off all relations for some years now, is implicated in the death of a man. Luna must navigate between the two cases where the boundary between the personal and the professional becomes dangerously blurred.
With a classic “who did it” structure, Mercero uses the crime novel to entertain, to tell the drama of Sofía and her sex change, and to show the trials and tribulations we all hold deep down inside.
