Summary

UNA FAMILIA CON MUCHO PODER

La bodega Mas Vidal es una de las más grandes del país.
Cuando su propietario Mateu Vidal, patriarca de una poderosa saga de empresarios, desaparece entre los cientos de hectáreas de viñedos, sus hijos no permiten que el caso recaiga únicamente en los policías de la zona. Quieren a los mejores y cuanto antes.

UN POLICÍA EN CRISIS

López acaba de mudarse al Empordà, en el norte de Cataluña, huyendo del estrés y de la unidad de élite de la Policía Nacional en la que trabajaba. Cuando recibe una llamada de su antiguo jefe, sabe que le va a meter en un lío, pero no puede evitar coger el teléfono. Tras descubrir a Mateu Vidal ahogado en vino, López sabe que se acabó su tranquilidad.
 
UN ESCENARIO TAN IDÍLICO
COMO INQUIETANTE

J. L. Romero convierte el Empordà, tierra de vino, mar y viento, en el escenario de una investigación sin tregua en la que López tendrá que lidiar con los fantasmas del pasado, el suyo y el del país. Una trama vibrante donde viejas rencillas, retorcidas y ocultas como las raíces de la vid, acaban emergiendo de la manera menos esperada.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A POWERFUL FAMILY

The Mas Vidal vineyard is one of the biggest in the country.
When its owner, Mateu Vidal, the patriarch of a powerful line of businessmen, disappears somewhere on the vast estate, his children are not content to rely on the local police. They want the best, and now.

A POLICEMAN IN CRISIS

López is a newcomer in Empordà, in northern Catalonia, seeking an escape from his stressful job with an elite National Police squad. When he gets a call from his former boss, he knows it can only mean trouble, but he can’t help but pick up. After discovering Mateu Vidal drowned in a vat of wine, López understands that his peaceful interlude is at an end.
 
A SETTING AS IDYLLIC AS IT IS UNSETTLING

At the hands of J. L. Romero, Empordà – land of wine and windswept coasts – becomes the the site of a murder investigation that will bring López face to face with the ghosts of the past: the country’s and his own. A vibrant tale in which old resentments, as twisted and buried as the roots of the region’s famous grapevines, come to light in unexpected ways.
