Inspector Javier is an introspective detective who has experienced psychological problems in the past and is now reviewing and re-evaluating his life as a detective. He has a sensitive understanding of people and is committed to deep and satisfying relationships both romantically and as a friend. These come under strain as a result of his deep involvement in his work and ultimately he has to choose which life he wants to pursue. This is a sensitive and satisfying exploration of the way Javier moves on. There are some graphic and horrific descriptions of the violence with which Inspector Javier lives and the plot moves on at a pace and demands attention. Set against the background of romantic and day-to-day Seville, which is described in beautiful and evocative prose, this is an excellent read.
