The fifth and, for the moment, last in the series of noir novels featuring Inspector Mascarell. December 1949, a small-time thief comes to the inspector asking for help to get him safely out of a monumental mess: he has stolen the briefcase of a supposedly English tourist who has just been murdered. Now they're after him. What is in the briefcase?
When the journalist Marta Vilas discovers the body of a driver floating in the Vigo harbour, she doesn't imagine that the small toy the murderer hid in his pocket is about to change her life. That click, from the first series of the discontinued Famobil, is the only thing that seems to tie this murder to that of the civil guard rescued by a fisherman in Cangas, at the other side of the river.
