In 'Els Llops', Francesc Puigpelat intertwines an intriguing detective novel with a family saga spanning two centuries of history. The plot is triggered by the mysterious death of Jaume Forné in Montsec in 2004, revealing that he and his brothers have received threatening anonymous messages. To unravel the crime, the novel goes back to 1816, exploring loves, hates, and revenges among the Llop. The narrative covers historical scenarios such as the construction of the Urgell canal, the African war, the battle of the Segre, and the maquis, always with the Llops as protagonists. The backdrop includes figures such as Guifré el Pilós, the myth of the werewolf, Julius Caesar in Ilerda, and an ancient temple dedicated to the cult of the wolf, the totemic animal of the Iberian tribes of Lleida.
