Unpaid debts

Jiménez Barca, Antonio

Premio Silverio Cañada, 2006

"And it's not that we did anything wrong then, but we did get something wrong somewhere, and the story that I've been going over and over shows that. Let his death at least achieve that one thing—to put an end once and for all to this game that we've all three been playing for so many years, without even realizing. That's the final unpaid debt."
Pablo Esteban is returning home as usual from his poorly paid job as a debt collector in a shabby office in Madrid when he runs into Trendy, a long-lost friend from his teenage years. Next thing he knows is Trendy's been murdered, and he's drawn into a criminal investigation that will put his own life at risk and force him to revisit the people and places of his past, including his love story with Nora.
