Opis

A sadistic serial killer is at large in Seville - with a taste for priests; drug-addicted Detective Velazquez is working against the clock to uncover the murderer while tackling his own problems, including the kidnapping of his bullfighter girlfriend. 1998, Seville. Summer. An elderly priest is found murdered in horrific circumstances; Inspector Velasquez assumes at first a junkie is on the loose. But then a second man of the cloth shows up in the Guadalquivir River, followed by a Russian gangster, and Velazquez realizes he has a puzzle of major proportions on his hands. Are they politically motivated ? Are the three murders linked? And if so, how? His boss, Comisario Alonso, is breathing down his neck and wanting answers, fast. And then danger begins to creep a little too close to home ... In a bullfight, the bull sometimes wins. The question is, who is the bull? Velasquez, or the murderer?"
