Good Intentions
When everything falls apart, all that remains is to act. Even if getting it wrong is the only thing one can do. After years in hiding, the unnamed hitman has found something resembling peace in a house by the sea. But the death of an old ally forces him to accept one final assignment: to settle an outstanding score with three names on a list. Only then can he be free. Meanwhile, in Barcelona, Clara Fité tries to rebuild her life. A stolen notebook and the disappearance of two children in 1992 draw her into an investigation no one wants reopened. As it unfolds, power, guilt, and fear intertwine, linking what happened then with what is about to explode now. With Las buenas intenciones, Víctor del Árbol puts the finishing touches on an unforgettable trilogy—organized crime, real-estate speculation, cryptocurrencies, secrets of Church and State, and a past that refuses to stay buried.
