The Guilty Boy

A gripping international detective police crime thriller

De: Pablo Poveda

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

One brutal murder. One boy accused. One detective who knows the truth is never that simple.

After the Cartaginians and Romans festival, Cartagena wakes to a savage double murder.

A young man has been arrested, accused of gunning down a married couple in their own home. The case looks closed before it has even begun. The city wants answers, the police want someone to blame, and everyone seems ready to move on.

Everyone except Inspector Francisco Rojo.

Because something does not fit.

The evidence is too neat.
The arrest comes too fast.
And no one seems interested in asking who really pulled the trigger.

Rojo knows a killer is still out there.

And while the rest of the city is happy to bury the truth, he is determined to follow the case wherever it leads—even if it means putting his own life on the line.

As he digs deeper, Rojo finds himself trapped in a web of lies, fear, and hidden motives, where justice is less important than convenience and the wrong suspect may be the perfect solution.

But Rojo has never been good at looking away.

Because when a case is built on silence, someone always profits.
And when the wrong person is accused, the real killer gets to walk free.

How far will Rojo go to uncover the truth in a case everyone else would rather forget?
