Isabel has spent years working as a personal assistant for wealthy families in Madrid. She puts up with the scornful looks and arrogant comments until one day, in a moment of rage - and who hasn't had one of those? - she kills one of her well-dressed, impeccably mannered employers. This terrible act makes her feel more special and alive than ever, so much so that has no plans to stop ... With his trademark cutting prose, Carlos Augusto Casas has written into being one of the most compelling protagonists in Spanish noir novels. Smart and shocking, Ammonia tackles themes of hatred, reality and justice that will linger with readers long after they turn its final page.

Ese acto tan atroz la hace sentir más especial y viva que nunca, tanto que no piensa parar...
