Fiction. Mystery. Thriller. HTML:Unrelenting hero of The Summer of Dead Toys, Inspector Hector Salgado returns in another riveting crime thriller
 
After a company retreat in a remote country house, senior employees of Alemany Cosmetics return with a dark secret. They’ve each received an anonymous, menacing email of only two words: “Never forget”. What’s worse, the message is accompanied by a nightmarish photo attachment showing the bodies of dogs—hung to death from a tree—near the very same farm estate they just visited. When they begin killing themselves, one by one, the connection between the shocking photos and the suicides baffles Barcelona law enforcement and corporate think tanks alike, threatening a terrifying end for everyone involved.
 
Breaking through the insular power structures of these enigmatic executives isn't easy, but Inspector Salgado has his own ways of making those still alive speak up.  As the clock is ticking before another suicide, Salgado is doing all he can to bring the terror to an end.  Meanwhile, his partner Leire, bored on her maternity leave, remains fixated on Salgado’s missing wife, Ruth.  She refuses to give up on a case many—including Salgado—fear is hopeless.
 
Antonio Hill deftly braids these two stories together for a richly layered and darkly chilling thriller about secrets, cover-ups, and devastating lies.    .

This is the second book about Inspector Hector Salgado and I think it was better than the first. You do need to read the first book or this one won't make any sense as the happenings in the first book are mentioned often in this book. I think I had a better understanding of Inspector Salgado as well.

Inspector Salgado is called in when a young woman commits suicide. Coincidentally another man in the company has also committed suicide just a few months before. A picture with these two people along with several others is found and the only thing they have in common is that they work for the same company. The Inspector does not believe these two deaths are coincides and begins an investigation into both. Parallel to this story is the continuing investigation of Inspector Salgado's ex-wife. There is a cliffhanger in this story, a big one. Normally I hate cliffhangers but in this case I think it fits since the one storyline is so neatly tied up. However I really hope Mr. Hill does not make us wait too long for the next book. ( )
