V.3 - Taxi

Beautiful, fearless, resourceful and talented. That’s Taxi. One night, a man named Nelson rescues her from an attack… and changes her life. He works for a news agency called Control Press, and “recruits” Taxi for his investigative team. In “The Devil’s Trench,” an informant supplies Taxi and her cohorts with details to crimes before they happen. Taking on drug lords, assassins and corrupt police, Taxi needs eyes in the back of her head if she wants to survive this escapade.

Aloma lives and works in Barcelona with her uncle Cyrus, an antiquarian and restorer of works of art of all kinds. In his huge shop, he keeps the last remnants of an old galleon, the Thrill Seeker, in which a few gangsters suspect part of the treasure it once transported. This will put the lives of the protagonists in danger again and again throughout the story. Cyrus and Aloma hire Gerald Quer, a private investigator, to find the treasure, if it really exists. Some traces lead Gerald to Panama, where Aloma wants to sell a Vermeer painting to a millionaire. Gerald decides to accompany her and the suspicion grows in him that Aloma is hiding a very dark secret. But on the island of San Jose, where the Thrill Seeker landed four hundred years earlier, a deadly threat awaits...
