The Game of Metamorphoses

An absolute novelty in the spirit of "The Crappy Story" 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... Madrid's Judicial Police lieutenant Lucia Guerrero. Flashes of lightning illuminated from the darkness a large cross rising above the top of the hill. And hanging from it was her partner, Sergeant Moreira. A screwdriver stuck out from his chest, and the body was... glued to the cross with super strong adhesive.
Lucia is not allowed to work on her partner's murder case – the law prohibits it. But with her superiors' consent, she begins her own investigation. She learns about a professor from the University of Salamanca who is developing a computer program to find serial criminals. He tells Lucia about several "artistic" murders that occurred many years ago. Back then, the victims' bodies were also fixed with glue, and the death plots were taken from the famous poem by Ovid, "Metamorphoses"...
