Pastores del mal

When Father Damián Isún changed his position to accommodate himself on his bed, his heart skipped a beat when he felt, under the bedspread, the naked and lifeless body of one of his pupils. How had he gotten there? Panic seized him and he turned to his former disciple, Mosén Estanis, for help and shelter. The mosén did not hesitate to contact Commissioner Javier Gallardo, who although he had recently retired from the service, could never forget that he owed his life to the religious. Thus, together with the now Chief Inspector Raúl Olaya, Gallardo will try to prove Father Damián's innocence. Together they will discover a powerful international organization whose excessive voracity destroys and uses hundreds of children and whose leaders include prominent members of the bank, politics, finance or the Church. With an overwhelming prose, direct and without artifice, but absolutely addictive, Félix García Hernán manages, with the precision of a watchmaker, or better, a surgeon, a plot that will take us, without a break, from Barcelona to Rome, New York , Paris or Wisconsin, and confirms him as a particularly gifted narrator for novels where the social and the denunciation coexist with the most vertiginous action.
