In this new book narrated by the police inspector, Petra transforms her own life into an irresistible case where discoveries and adventures run parallel to a harsh vision of family, traditions, authority, sex, and love.

Police Inspector Petra Delicado decides to take a break from her day to day to reminisce about her past in order to take charge of the present. To do this, she retires for a week to a Galician convent to write a manuscript where her life will be the protagonist this time.

A sui generis sentimental education manual, entertaining, intelligent, and ironic, analytical, and self-critical.
