A country that doesn't acknowledge its past is destined to repeat its mistakes.Why murder a sick old man nearing retirement? An investigation into the death of a professor at the University of Barcelona seems particularly baffling for Deputy Inspector Norma Forester of the Catalan police, as word from the top confirms she's the one to lead this case.The granddaughter of an English member of the International Brigades, Norma has a colourful family life, with a forensic doctor husband, a hippy mother, a squatter daughter and an aunt, a nun in an enclosed order, who operates as a hacker from her austere convent cell.This blended family sometimes helps and often hinders Norma's investigations.It seems the spectres of the past have not yet been laid to rest, and there are people who can neither forgive nor forget the cruelties of the Spanish Civil War and all that followed.

"A scathing satire of Spanish society, hilarious dialogue, all beautifully dressed up as a crime novel."--Krimi-Couch
"A first novel that''s spread like wildfire by word of mouth."--El Avui
"Teresa Solana is great proof of the vitality of the roman noir in Catalan. . . . A wonderfully ironic hymn to the city of Barcelona."--Diari de Balears
Another day in Barcelona, another slimy politician''s wife is suspected of infidelity. Lluis Font discovers a portrait of his wife in an exhibition that leads him to conclude he is being cuckolded by the artist. Concerned only about the potential political fallout, he hires twins Eduard and Pep, private detectives with a supposed knack for helping the wealthy with their "dirty laundry." Their office is adorned with false doors leading to nonexistent private rooms, a mysterious secretary who is always away, and a broken laptop computer picked up on the street. The case turns ugly when Font''s wife is found poisoned by a marron glace from a box of sweets delivered anonymously.
This is a deftly plotted, bitingly funny mystery novel. A satire of Catalan politics and a fascinating insight into the life and habits of Barcelona''s inhabitants, diurnal and nocturnal.

No money, no future - a motive for murder?The economic crisis has hit Barcelona hard, and a personal crisis might be about to hit Deputy Inspector Norma Forrester's family.When a body is found in the grounds of a former grand villa,now a student squat, Norma finds the case uncomfortably close to home. The downturn has turned the city into a breeding ground for crime, or is the motive more personal? Unable to stay away, although this case may represent a conflict of interest, Norma can't even count on the support of her forensic pathologist husband Octavi, who has more than enough to cope with following a major incident at the city's Prat Airport. When a face from his past appears, he and Norma are faced with choices and conflicts - just as her focus should be on finding the killer.With her trademark dark humour, Teresa Solana paints the protrait of a contradictory, vibrant Barcelona, where nothing is ever black and white.

20 de setembre del 2017. Queden només onze dies perquè se celebri el referèndum i entre els Mossos d'Esquadra hi ha mala maror. Amb l'1 d'octubre acostant-se, Barcelona és plena d'estelades i banderoles que animen a votar mentre el Piolín es troba atracat al port i resta expectant. Al mateix temps, l'assassinat d'un presumpte actor retirat, que, de fet, sembla un robatori que ha acabat malament, obligarà la inspectora dels Mossos Norma Forester i el seu equip a traslladar-se al barri de Gràcia per iniciar la investigació d'un cas que es complicarà quan descobreixin que la víctima vivia sota una identitat falsa.Norma està amoïnada pel futur: en primer lloc, pel del seu equip, que ara està format per un sergent i una jove caporala sense cap experiència en homicidi, i per un inclassificable sotsinspector Agustí Carrasco, a qui la seva incapacitat per adaptar-se a la nova sensibilitat feminista ha estat a punt de fer que l'expulsin del cos. En segon lloc, per la peculiar i histriònica família, on la divisió d'opinions sobre la qüestió de la independència amenaça amb convertir una celebració familiar festiva en una agra discussió en què tothom pot sortir malparat. Un cop més, Teresa Solana ens ofereix no només un domini exuberant de la novel·la policíaca, sinó tot un retrat contemporani de la nostra actualitat que continua teixint les trames i engrandint uns personatges carregats d'història i que ja van fer el seu debut literari a Negres tempestes i La casa de les papallones.

És el mes de juliol i els Mossos estan desbordats. La comissària Valentina Vallès decideix contractar els serveis d''una peculiar parella de detectius privats, el Borja Masdeu-Canals Sáez de Astorga i l''Eduard Martínez, que tenen, entre els seus clients, alguns dels membres més distingits de les classes altes de Barcelona.En aquesta novel·la plena de sorpreses i girs inesperats, els detectius s''incorporaran al Departament de Casos Oberts i hauran d''intentar resoldre quatre assassinats en plena canícula. Són casos complicats perquè els mòbils no estan clars i els assassins no han deixat pistes, i perquè, degut al perfil de les víctimes —un matemàtic que treballa a la UB, una viuda rica que viu a la zona del Turó Park, una metgessa especialitzada en guarir malalts de càncer i un violinista que és membre de l''Orquestra Simfònica del Liceu—,han provocat una caòtica alarma social i les xarxes bullen.Amb el sentit de l''humor que caracteritza les seves novel·les, Teresa Solana ens ofereix, un cop més, el retrat d''una Barcelona contradictòria i vibrant en la qual les dones, les polítiques feministes i les noves sensibilitats es converteixen en les protagonistes d''aquesta trama.
