A significant portion of the text is dedicated to the emeritus king. Botello chronicles the transition of Juan Carlos I from the "King of all Spaniards" who shepherded democracy, to a figure shrouded in allegations of corruption (such as the Noós case and the mysterious elephant hunting trip in Botswana). The epub format allows Botello to synthesize years of headlines into a coherent narrative arc, showing the systemic erosion of the monarch's moral authority.
