Description: Emma leads a risky existence as the head of an organization dedicated to stealing jewels and works of art. In love with a man she met one night in Madrid and willing to do anything to find him again, her quest is interrupted by an extraordinary circumstance: the police arrest her in Portugal, accusing her of three murders. Emma must then unravel the keys to the crime in which she is implicated, while reviewing the most fascinating moments of her life, a succession of hilarious robberies, identity games, and occasional erotic situations. A crime novel with hints of romantic comedy, a story of adventure, love, and humor, Madame Kalalú's Ball introduces us to a charming character, a modern woman capable of turning the world upside down to fulfill her wishes.
