SERENDIPIA
Subjugated lives. Lives without justice. Can they be mended? Xoxé Avellanada has no choice. Elena Mérquez's life is conditional. The day she returns as an inspector, Elena Márquez is a powerless witness to the suicide of an old man in need of her help. That same morning, Xoxé Avellanada, a retired policeman from Lugo, turns to her with a voice recording and a threat to his life. Both men seem to be connected by an invisible thread that will take Elena Márquez through a whole maze of unconnected crimes. Even involving her own name. It all seems like a bad joke to stir up the pain everybody carries in their very blood and expose it where relief is unlikely to be found. With her official investigations suspended, she must follow a parallel route with Avellanada, in the search for a truth that is just too dirty and too important.
