Fortress of Evil - A Terra Alta Investigation

Years have passed since Melchor Marín took revenge for his mother's murder and at last found peace. He left the police force to work as a librarian, and lives with his daughter Cosette, now a teenager. But their contentment is shattered when Cosette discovers that he kept the truth of her mother's death from her - the fact that she was killed to scare him off an investigation. Confused and disgusted, Cosette takes a holiday in Mallorca, and that is the last Melchor hears of her; his messages and calls go unanswered, and he has no choice but to travel to the island in search of her.
Suddenly it seems the worst aspects of Melchor's past are repeating themselves, and as he grapples with that horror, he experiences the best and the worst that humans are capable of. For while we live surrounded by violence, lies, cowardice, there are also people who will risk everything for a just cause. And Melchor is one of them.
