«Apocalipsis bebé» is the crime novel by Virginie Despentes, published by Random House in paperback (312 pages, in Spanish).
Valentine, a troubled teenager from a wealthy Parisian family, disappears on her way to school. Her grandmother hires Lucie Toledo, an inexperienced private detective, who begins the search alongside La Hiena, a magnetic investigator with unorthodox methods. Valentine's trail leads from Paris to Barcelona through hardcore bands, squatters and bourgeois students, in a plot that combines social satire, contemporary thriller and lesbian romance, with social inequality and youthful hedonism as a backdrop.
