Book Review
A politician discovers a portrait of his wife in a Paris exhibition that leads him to conclude that she is having an affair with the artist.
He hires two inexperienced private detectives – non-identical twins – to investigate but the case turns ugly when she is found poisoned.
The sudden twists and turns in plot and dark humour make this satire of Catalan politics a fascinating insight into the life of Barcelona's inhabitants, both by day and night.
