Quan arribi el pirata i se m'emporti
En Jesús Carducci i en Miquel-Deogràcies Gambús, normalment, no s'haurien trobat mai. En Carducci, acaba de patir la pèrdua del seu germà petit i la fi d'una relació amorosa turbulenta amb en Gerard. Té un petit gabinet d'atenció mèdica al barri del Raval de Barcelona i un cop per setmana també dóna assistència sanitària als treballadors d'una gran multinacional. En Gambús, patriarca d'aquesta empresa, és un ancià de noranta-sis anys riquíssim, megalòman, amb un secret antic que l'ha convertit en un criminal. Quan en Carducci, és citat a una reunió amb ell aparentment és perquè els uneix una improbable fascinació pel teòric anarcocapitalista Murray N. Rothbard. Però res no és el que sembla, i aviat l'ancià li fa una insòlita proposta que en Carducci no sabrà rebutjar: hi ha massa diners a guanyar, diners fàcils
