"Cerrada has weaved a shocking and audacious novel... brilliantly able to cause fascination and--why not--insomnia in those who let themselves be awakened by literary courage." --Ricard Ruiz, La Razn
Trapped in Sandrine's memory, at a dead end and hopeless, Suso Corbacho does not have many options. Despite being a lawyer, he barely makes ends meet in Ceuta with the money his father sends him. Therefore, when his father asks him to meet Zallas, a man of dubious reputation involved in shady businesses, much to his regret he cannot refuse. On the other hand, the Caliph, a talent agent to whom Suso owes three thousand euro, orders him to go looking for Pesp, a desperate man, victim of extortion over some compromising photos taken decades back at a well-known Gaditan venue, Gadir. Unexpectedly, something terrible happens before they part ways. Who could be behind it all? At every turn in a quest against the backdrop of Cadiz' most sordid corners, at every encounter, and at every death, a new revelation shocks Suso--and with him the reader--on his path to truth, for which he may not be ready. Disturbing, with a relentless pace, plenty of twists, and an unforgettable protagonist, Gadir is a thriller that reflects Spain's dark side, the latest novel by the award-winning author praised by critics for her "suggestive and ground-breaking work" (Daniel Arjona, El Cultural.)
