| Description : "The scene of a crime and a woman... a mother is awarded currencies and medals by the English aristocracy... A ravishing woman who is a rock and roll romance, a dusty road, or an Olympic athlete whose body does not ask for explanations. A lifeless body in the middle of a bookstore, clean, between novels - and Jaime Ramos read novels, what a shame - or a woman waiting for the return of her husband who does not arrive, the kiss every day, the smell of tobacco... Five stories gathered in a book for the first time. All of them feature a woman and all of them are guided by the voice of inspector Jaime Ramos..." | ||
