El Negocio
What you need to know before your trail
Marcos works for the refuse collection service in Oviedo. There are some companies who are keen to dole out envelopes full of cash and on the understanding that the refuge collectors turn a blind eye with certain pick ups.
Marcos suspects the bag might often contain body parts. So, when they park in front of his ex-girlfriend’s door one night, he can’t help but panic.
Iva, a private investigator is hired by a woman who hasn’t heard from her granddaughter in weeks. At the same time, Marcos starts to try and find out what is going on.
But the trouble with searching is that often there are things you find that you really shouldn’t have?

Oviedo
The capital of Asturias is known for its medieval old town. The gothic Oviedo Cathedral is particularly impressive. The Archaeological Museum of Asturias is housed in a nearby convent.
This novel really captures the streets, the parks, the nuances of this city with style. You feel as if you are right in the heart of life here as the rubbish vans drive around, picking up the rubbish and finding goodness knows what within them.
