Summary

Fourth adventure of the National Police officer Diana Dávila, this time set in Laspaúles (Huesca, Spain), a town traditionally associated with witchcraft.
National Police Officer Diana Dávila is transferred to Laspaúles, a rural town in Huesca, where she must investigate, along with Chief Inspector Vázquez from the Central Unit in Madrid, the murder of a police officer, Andrés Hernández, whose death appears to be linked to witchcraft practices.
The investigators discover that, before his death, the murdered officer was investigating the theft of a unique edition of Goethe's Faust, a book of great value.
And, as they follow the leads, they receive anonymous messages warning them about witches and cautioning them to be wary of the town's inhabitants.

    Georgette Adams is trouble incarnate. Spoiled, sassy, smart . . . and the President's only daughter. 
 
 
 
Getting summoned to a meeting at the White House felt like an honor—until I caught the catch. I'm the newest member of her security detail. Not only for this summer in DC, but once she leaves for Stanford in the fall as well. Her safety is my responsibility. 
 
 
 
Trouble is, the only place Georgie respects any rules is on the tennis court. 
 
 
 
Our priorities clash and our personalities conflict, yet somehow—the more time we spend together, the less it feels like work. 
 
 
 
But my job description doesn't include making her laugh or enjoying our conversations. And it definitely doesn't involve broken rules or blurred lines.
