ENGLISH DESCRIPTION WHEN EVERYTHING'S BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU, VENGEANCE IS ALL YOU HAVE LEFT.
In this follow-up to Justicia [Justice] and Solas [Alone], Javier Dez Carmona completes his noir Basque trilogy with a relentless thriller.
Inspector Miren Ruz de Heredia has learned an important lesson: Never trust the first version of events. She can't stop dwelling on the horrific crimes that took place in the district of Las Encarnaciones, nagged by the feeling that something doesn't quite fit, that there is more behind the bloodshed. She suspects the involvement of Osmany Arechabala, an elderly Cuban man, but to prove her case she'll have to hurry - because the inspector is not the only one interested in Osmany. There are others who don't appreciate his sticking his nose into shady affairs that the darkest and most ruthless elements in Bilbao would prefer to keep hidden. Crime, corruption, fury and a thirst for revenge set the pace in this engrossing thriller. With masterful style and a seamless plot, Javier Dez Carmona puts the final flourish on the trilogy that has made him one of the most powerful voices in contemporary noir literature.
