La conspiración del coltán
In this first instalment, investigative journalist Magda Ventura uncovers what may be the most important case of her career. A case that could cost her life. Magda's life hasn't been easy, not only does her work often lead her into the dark margins of society, but she lost her partner, just before their wedding, and she herself was the victim of an attack in Afghanistan. Now she must go to meet a high class prostitute with something very important to tell her. But she arrives late to find the woman dead, apparently as a result of risky sex. From now on Magda Ventura will be submerged in a world of high class prostitution, power and dirty tricks, and she uncovers an international plot about to blow up. For the moment she has no evidence - unless she places herself at the centre of the target.
