  • "Barcelona, środek upalnego lata. Fascynujące miasto z wąskimi, ciemnymi, często niebezpiecznymi uliczkami w dzielnicy portowej oraz szerokimi alejami i pięknymi XIX-wiecznymi kamienicami należącymi kiedyś do katalońskich patrycjuszy. Héctor Salgado, urodzony w Argentynie inspektor katalońskiej policji, znajduje się w nienajlepszej sytuacji życiowej. Żona właśnie rzuciła go dla innej kobiety, stosunki z synem trudno uznać za modelowe i na dodatek nie układa mu się w pracy. Do czasu wyjaśnienia swego udziału w akcji przeciwko handlarzom żywym towarem, w której dotkliwie pobił podejrzanego, jest zawieszony. Szef powierza mu nieoficjalne dochodzenie: zbadanie okoliczności śmierci nastolatka z bogatej rodziny, który wypadł z okna. Wszystko wskazuje na wypadek, ale wersji tej nie dopuszcza matka chłopca. Z pozoru proste śledztwo komplikuje się. Aby zdobyć niezbędne informacje, Salgado musi zapuścić się w zamknięty świat barcelońskiej elity, poznać jej tajemnice i zwyczaje, przebić się przez zasłonę kłamstw i pozorów. Równolegle toczy się drugie, oficjalne dochodzenie: człowiek, którego pobił inspektor, zniknął bez śladu, a na jego biurku ktoś pozostawił zakrwawiony łeb świni. Gdy dziewczyna zmarłego zostaje znaleziona z podciętymi żyłami, Héctor zdaje sobie sprawę, że rozwiązania zagadki należy poszukiwać w przeszłości."

He assigns Salgado to a routine accidental death: a college student fell from a balcony in one of Barcelona's ritzier neighborhoods. As Salgado begins to piece together the life and world of the victim, he realizes that his death was not all that simple: his teenage friends are either overly paranoid or deceptively calm, and drugs might be involved. Hector begins to follow a trail that will lead him deep into the underbelly of Barcelona's high society where he'll come face-to-face with dangerous criminals, long-buried secrets, and, of course, his own past. But Hector thrives on pressure, and he lives for this kind of case'dark, violent, and seemingly unsolvable. Gripping, sophisticated, and wickedly entertaining, The Summer of Dead Toys introduces a charismatic new detective and announces Antonio Hill as a new master of the crime thriller."@en
