The honour of the Cuerpo is on the line as Inspector Alvarez is asked to cooperate with an English detective who wants to question an expatriate living in Mallorca, a man whose wife was brutally tortured and murdered as part of a plan to steal millions from the bank in which she worked. The investigation is making no progress until a peeping tom reveals that things may not be quite as they seem. Alvarez's unconventional methods drive his boss mad, but eventually they lead him to the truth, though even he might not be able to explain clearly exactly how he got there...
