MEJOR MUERTO (BETTER DEAD)

The comeback of inspector Marcela Pieldelobo, embarked on a time-trial investigation where everyone lies and no one seems to be in a hurry to find an eminent kidnapped businessman

Francisco Sarasola, an important real estate developer in Pamplona, has disappeared without a trace. Hours after the complaint, the family receives a message in which the businessman can be seen badly injured on the ground. They demand a million euros in exchange for their life. A few days later, the deputy director of the company vanishes and the young lover of the businessman is found dead in the toilets of the train station.

Sarasola is a difficult man, accustomed to doing his will without worrying about the consequences of his actions. During the investigation, Pieldelobo finds a family little distressed: a son eager to take the reins of the company; another weak, controlled by his young wife, and a third who is just a scared boy. The first wife openly hates him, and the second, devoted to tarot, fears him and tries to please him to avoid his anger. Blackmail and extortion, threats and violence, deep-rooted hatreds that suffocate them and prevent them from moving forward. The Sarasola family knows that their obligation is to collaborate in the search for Francis, but it is so easy to live without him.
