Absolute Chaos
A chilling vision of Spain's current political and social landscape told as a mystery thriller—a fast-paced police procedural where social media takes center stage.
Spain, 2015: The coalition government formed after snap elections proves powerless against the country's grave problems. Mired in a deep crisis for years, the nation teeters on the brink of collapse.
The Troika has expelled Greece from the European Union and signed Portugal's death warrant, with Spain and Italy in its crosshairs. The country lurches toward absolute chaos, and a society fed up with corruption, austerity, and hardship stands ready to explode.
In the midst of this explosive economic, political, and social turmoil, a new case lands on the desk of the National Police: the disappearance of Álvaro Sarmiento, a former politician turned unscrupulous banker, facing multiple charges of fraud and embezzlement. The investigation falls to Inspector Sonia Murillo and Sub-Inspector Andrés Solsona, two cops who soon find themselves tangled in a complex web full of surprises.
Fraudulent bankers, corrupt politicians with a taste for hardcore sex, predatory financiers, and other specimens of their kind have caught the attention of a different breed of vigilante. A man with no future who, confronted by the dire straits of Spanish society, decides to change things his own way—using the power of social media.
Someone who has lost everything and therefore has nothing to fear embarks on a crusade with unpredictable consequences...
Reality or science fiction? Discover a distinctive dystopia presented as a thriller but driven by profound social criticism. A noir novel set in a near future that may be much closer than we think...
