Antonio Hill’s engrossing criminal thriller “The Good Suicides” carries on the narrative of Inspector Hector Salgado, the tenacious hero from “The Summer of Dead Toys.” Senior employees of Alemany Cosmetics come from a company vacation in a secluded country residence bearing a sinister secret. “Never forget” is the only word in an anonymous, threatening email that was sent to each of them.
A terrifying image of dogs that were hung to death from a tree close to the farm that they visited is included with the message. Law enforcement in Barcelona and business think tanks are perplexed as to how the disturbing photographs relate to the deaths of individuals who start taking their own lives one by one. Inspector Salgado fights against time to uncover the mysterious executives’ power structures because he is determined to break through them.
