When the death of a young witness in a case of human trafficking and voodoo provokes the normally calm Inspector Salgado to beat someone up, he is swiftly removed from the project. Instead, he is sent to investigate a teenager's fall to his death in one of Barcelona's uptown areas.
As Salgado begins to uncover the inconvenient truths behind the city's most powerful families, two seemingly unsolvable cases are set to implode under the hot Barcelona sun.
Antonio Hill lives in Barcelona. He is a professional translator of English-language fiction into Spanish and speaks fluent English. The Summer of Dead Toys is the first in a detective series set in Barcelona, introducing Inspector Salgado. The second in the series, The Good Suicides, comes out in Doubleday hb in summer 2013.
