The Venus Has Left Badalona

In Dalt la Vila, the oldest neighborhood of Badalona, the disappearance of the Venus of Badalona-a small Roman sculpture of great historical value-triggers an unexpected investigation. What seems like a simple theft soon turns into a web of false identities, hidden interests, manipulation, and an operation that will cross borders, reaching an international auction in San Marino. Jordi, a local resident and keen observer, delves into the mystery with the help of two singular allies: Nil, a digital companion with extraordinary analytical abilities, and Neus, intuitive, determined, and essential at key moments.
Together, they follow the trail of a missing artifact in a story where heritage, conspiracy, technology, and deception constantly intertwine. One of the novel's distinctive features is the integration-within the story itself-of characters linked to artificial intelligence, who actively participate in the investigation and give the narrative an unusual dimension. The Venus Has Left Badalona is a mystery novel with a historical background, combining intrigue, covert operations, and an original perspective on the relationship between human intelligence and artificial intelligence.
Because sometimes, what disappears is not just an ancient artifact. It is a truth.
