"A gem of a book, easily the best I've read this year. A
contemporary police procedural with a literary edge. I was rooting
for the flawed, but deeply compassionate Melchor Marin from the
first page to the last. Highly recommended" M W Craven Two dead at
the Adell house . . . But nothing in the duty officer's report can
prepare Melchor Marin for what he finds. A wealthy couple tortured
to death in an almost ritualistic manner. The little town of
Gandesa in the backwater region of Terra Alta, Catalonia, is
suddenly at the eye of a media storm. Melchor is no stranger to
notoriety. He was sent to Terra Alta to lie low after foiling a
terrorist attack. And, before that, he was jailed for his role as
driver for a Colombian drug cartel, his decision to join the police
inspired by a desire to avenge his mother's murder and a copy of
Les Miserables from the prison library. Gradually, the leads in the
Adell case dry up, and Melchor is ordered to back off. He doesn't,
willing to sacrifice his reputation and career in a ruthless
pursuit of the truth. But dusk is already falling on the darkest
night of his life. Translated from the Spanish by Anne McLean
