Reseña del editor
CSI meets Jack the Ripper in early 20th century Barcelona: captivating, scary and genre-breaking. Children are going missing in Barcelona. A body is found, twisted, drained of blood. The locals say a devil is moving in the shadows, spiriting away the innocent. To the police, it just means more corpses in a city where death is a daily occurrence. Who cares about the children of a few prostitutes and thieves? Inspector Moises Corvo-jaded, dissolute, yet with an uncanny sixth sense-knows something is different this time. To discover the true identity of the "monster" he must journey through Barcelona's underworld, from high-class brothels to lurid casinos, where there are powerful people who will do anything to stop him. He cannot imagine the horror that awaits him. Visceral and shocking, Barcelona Shadows opens up the heart of evil, in a macabre world where the lines between life and death are blurred. Barcelona Shadows is based on a true story, found by Barcelona CSI Marc Pastor in the archives of the Barcelona police.

Mean Streets 'A terrifying read, but a bloody good one too' Crime Squad Marc Pastor (b. 1977) studied criminology and crime policy, and works as a crime-scene investigator in Barcelona.
