A terrible crime shocks Seville. A man is arrested. A young lawyer faces a case that could change her destiny. When Carmen Laguillo agrees to defend biotechnologist Dámaso Dorado, she has no idea that she will become entangled in a web of interests and power struggles. The press and the police are convinced that he murdered his wife, archaeology professor Vera Melgar. The evidence points to him, public opinion demands justice, and his silence condemns him. But the more Carmen investigates, the more doubts assail her. Something doesn't add up. In Vera's excavations in Lebanon and in the companies that exploit Dámaso's patents, free knowledge is something that not everyone seems to tolerate. Why does he refuse to defend himself? Who benefits from his guilt? What is the connection with the variant of the biblical myth she found on some clay tablets? As she navigates the courts, the bars of the old town, and the offices where opaque decisions are made, Carmen will discover that justice can be as fragile as teenage love and that, sometimes, seeking the truth is the shortest route to death. La osadía de Eva is an addictive thriller that plunges us into the inner workings of the judicial system, the shadows of the university, and the harshness of a society susceptible to deception. It is also a game where nothing is what it seems, even if it has been going on like this for eleven thousand years.
