Sakamura, Corrales and the Smiling Dead

Three foreigners appear dead in Costa Brava –all three as red as lobsters, and with an inexplicable smile on their faces… To Rafael Corrales, a corporal of the Guardia Civil, the case seems easy: it can only have been an attack of jellyfi sh, whose poison does not affect Spaniards because “we have better skin”. But Inspector Sakamura, a venerable Zen master sent to investigate by Interpol, suspects there’s something else. This would explain why the Catalan President tries to place obstacles in the way of the investigation carried out by such outlandish partners, even enlisting Agent 69’s expensive services and her portentous erotic weapons.
