Argument
Controversy
Despite the author's denials across various media, the press continues to assert that there is a connection between the publication of this novel and the investigation initiated by the General Directorate of the Police[10] following an anonymous complaint from Huesca.[11]
Furthermore, it has been suggested that the author might be forced to resign from the police force after several years of service, leaving the identification of the complainants unresolved, especially if the novel only achieves six print editions.[12][13]
