When the ninth bid falls, someone always pays the price.
An unidentified body floating in a luxurious pool shatters the calm of an exclusive Madrid neighborhood.
For Inspector Manuela López, it’s not just another case—it’s a call to something deeper. Her instinct tells her it wasn’t an accident.
After a year marked by personal loss and a difficult divorce, Manuela faces a disturbing investigation involving multiple murders and silent cruelty. As she unravels the threads, the arrival of a new colleague, Inspector Mars, and the case’s growing connection to her own past force her to confront what she has always tried to forget.
How far can she go without losing herself?
Love, intrigue, passion, suspense, and uncertainty accompany the reader through Manuela’s eyes—a woman driven by reason yet guided by emotion, fighting to balance justice and desire.
Bid Number Nine (La Puja del Nueve in its original Spanish edition) is a psychological police thriller where truth, pain, and intimacy intertwine in a story that explores the price of silence.
