"The director of the newspaper Las Noticias is expected to be at the opening of the Liceu season, but his mutilated body appears in a hotel on the Paral·lel where rooms are rented by the hour. Sub-inspector Matilda Serra, a former war reporter disillusioned with journalism, will take charge of the investigation to enter a world dominated by corruption, moral baseness, resentment and revenge. Although she had intended to protect herself from the damage caused by the decline of the profession she loved so much, the investigation will force her to meet up with her former colleagues at the newspaper and to relive a time in her life that she considered outdated.

In Killing the Director, Bru Rovira weaves a fast-paced, ironic and melancholic plot, with unforgettable characters, which is, at the same time, a tribute and a critique, a vindication of the profession and a denunciation of its worst practices."
