Half-Truths: Luxury. Power. Crime. Secrets.

At dawn, the body of a Spanish investor and former professional tennis player is discovered on a golf course inside a gated community in Marbella, only hours after the party marking the end of the summer season. The autopsy reveals the presence of a rare slow-acting poison.Involved in international investment funds and luxury real estate developments, Edward Ricci Archer moved among politicians, judges, and a select group of seasonal residents bound by personal relationships, shared interests, and secrets that were never meant to intersect.Among them are a Brazilian family connected to the financial sector and botanical research. Two British sisters, one linked to finance and the other a diplomat. Representatives of a Japanese conglomerate. And the director of an art gallery married to a Spanish judge whose ties to those involved directly compromise the investigation.As the case unfolds across Spain, the United Kingdom, Italy, Brazil, Japan, and Macau, the focus gradually shifts beyond the death itself. The investigation begins to examine the events that preceded it: inherited loyalties, struggles for power, a request to end a pregnancy, and identities built around carefully guarded secrets.Some truths are not dangerous because they are criminal. They are dangerous because they involve people who are simply too powerful.
