Description
A naked corpse, a strange angel, a turbulent Barcelona and an investigation that will lead to an astonishing outcome.
Barcelona, November 1909. Gabriel Martín, a young priest, is found murdered in the city’s Cathedral neighborhood – his body is naked and there are strange marks on his back that look like wings. Inspector Ignasi Requesens is in charge of investigating what happened. But who could be responsible? Father Martín’s congregation included devoted high-society ladies, Pueblo Nuevo factory workers and slum-dwellers from the Pekín area. Many believed that the priest was actually an angel; few knew the real, complex personality of the murdered man. Why was his body abandoned like that, naked and in the middle of the night? Could it be the work of the authorities to distract attention from the events of the Tragic Week? And what are the unusual marks on his back? A series of other deaths complicates the investigation even further until Inspector Requesens manages to reveal the unexpected truth of what happened.
