The Game of Metamorphoses

A groundbreaking new work in the spirit of 'The Cursed History' by one of the most popular authors in France in the detective-thriller genre. 'On your grave, it should be written that you died by my hand...' This was a... nightmare for Lieutenant of the Judicial Police in Madrid, Lucia Guerrero. Flashes of lightning revealed from the darkness a large cross towering above the hilltop. And hanging on it was her partner, Sergeant Moreira. A screwdriver protruded from his chest, and the body was... glued to the cross with super strong adhesive. Lucia cannot investigate the murder of her partner - the law prohibits it. But with the approval of her superiors, she begins her own investigation. She learns about a professor from the University of Salamanca, who is developing a computer program for tracking serial criminals. It is he who tells Lucia about several 'artistic' murders that occurred many years ago. Back then, the victims' bodies were also fixed with glue, and the plots of the deaths were taken from the famous poem by Ovid, 'Metamorphoses'... ------------------------------ 'Minier is a huge talent for storytelling and the ability to instill fear in the reader's soul; no worse than Stephen King in his best novels.' - Daily Mail 'The new king of thriller.' - El Pais 'Minier delivers prose that is dark and sharp. So dense that while reading, your fingers get stuck in it.' - Spectator 'Minier's novels are valued for their brilliant intrigue and for the frankness with which he speaks about modern society.' - Provence
