Description: Journalist Jordi Basté and writer Marc Artigau present the first case of private detective Albert Martínez, a very special investigator, epicure, and seducer from Barcelona, who must untangle the causes of a man's disappearance, and who ends up immersed in the dark history of an upper-class family.  One spring night, while dining with an old college friend in La Barceloneta, private detective Albert Martínez is a witness to a disturbing scene: two men approach the most dangerous part of the Mar Bella jetty, gesticulating as if they were arguing. After awhile, only one comes back. Thus begins a thrilling investigation that will lead the detective to discover the darkest secrets of a wealthy, influential family. Along with extraordinary detective Albert Martínez, we delve into a story as original as the gastronomic, nocturnal, hidden Barcelona where the action takes place. This is an intelligent novel that engrosses the reader from the first page with a question: what happened that night on the jetty?
Notes: Translation from the Catalan of: Un home cau.
