Ambition, love and hunger for power prove fatal to a voyeur, a restaurant critic and a chef. Suspicion falls on Pedro, whose father Rafael happens to be Inspector Costa’s cousin and work colleague. Suddenly, the case becomes seriously complicated, for now the family honour is at stake – and Toni Costa finds himself caught up in the midst of a sinister drama of power, love and jealousy. And to make matters worse, he’s bedazzled by the restaurant owner’s beautiful wife Carmen, which causes him to lose the last vestiges of his professional detachment. Will he be able to prevent a further murder? Colourful, sensuous and absolutely riveting.
