Antonia Scott est spéciale. Très spéciale. Elle n'est ni flic ni criminologue. Elle n'a jamais porté d'arme ni d'insigne, et pourtant, elle a résolu des dizaines d'affaires criminelles. Avant de tout arrêter. Depuis un tragique accident, Antonia se terre dans un appartement vide et n'aspire qu'à une chose : qu'on lui fiche la paix. C'était sans compter l'inspecteur Jon Gutiérrez. Missionné pour lui faire reprendre du service, il parvient à la convaincre d'étudier un dernier dossier, celui d'un assassin sans scrupules qui s'en prend aux héritiers des plus grandes fortunes d'Espagne. Sa particularité ? L'homme ne semble motivé ni par l'appât du gain, ni par le plaisir de tuer. Un cas complexe auquel la police madrilène n'entend rien. En un mot, le terrain de jeu favori d'Antonia Scott.
