Already a #1 international bestseller, this tautly written and gripping psychological thriller forces a police inspector to reluctantly return to her hometown in Basque Country&;a place engulfed in mythology and superstition&;to solve a series of eerie murders.
When the naked body of a teenage girl is found on a riverbank in Basque Country, Spain, homicide inspector Amaia Salazar must return to the hometown she always sought to escape. A dark secret from Amaia&;s past plagues her with nightmares, and as her investigation deepens, the old pagan beliefs of the community threaten to derail her astute detective work. The lines between mythology and reality begin to blur, and Amaia must discover whether the crimes are the work of a ritualistic killer or of a mythical creature known as the Basajaun, the Invisible Guardian.
Torn between the rational procedures of her job and the local superstitions of a region shaped by the Spanish Inquisition, Amaia fights against the demons of her past in order to track down a killer on the run.
Críticas:
"Myth and reality blend and blur in this sophisticated and razor-sharp thriller. All of the skeletons are banging on the closet doors to be set free, and free they are in this gritty, fascinating, and compelling story. Already #1 in other countries, this one will be making its way up our bestseller lists too."--Steve Berry, New York Times best selling author
"I really loved it. I strongly recommend it."--María Dueñas "New York Times bestselling author of The Time In Between "
"Redondo tells the ancient tales in a hypnotic voice."--New York Times Book Review
"The Basque backdrop gives this thriller an especially intriguing layer of depth; the superstitions and mythologies passed down from the days of Spanish Inquisition penetrate the mystery to such an extent that the reader is easily transported."--Library Journal, Starred Review
"Already an international bestseller, this engrossing psychological thriller will impress American readers as well."--Publishers Weekly
"Fans of thrillers with the hint of the supernatural will enjoy reading Redondo and will be on the eager lookout for the next in the trilogy."--New York Journal of Books
"Dolores Redondo has set a landmark in the history of Spanish novel."--El Mundo
"One of the biggest literary surprises of recent times."--Mia
"A more sophisticated kind of book...than the conventional crime novel.... Exciting, attractive, competent, well structured, full of temperance, different and fresh."--El Periodico
"...An international bestseller, combining singular characters and an eerily atmospheric setting."--The Sunday Times Magazine, Book of the Month
