For that, he is in treatment for drinking too much, resource to prostitution, and his wife has suffered a nervous breakdown. This said, the author explains the troubled life of the inspector: son of a father jailed by Franco, he has been educated by Jesuit priests in a very though manner, for that, he says he only joined the police as a mean of life when democracy went to Spain.
