Description



Book Synopsis



Una novela negra absorbente que mezcla mitología y leyendas, arqueología y secretos de familia. Elegante. Compleja. Hipnótica.

Tasio Ortiz de Zárate, el brillante arqueólogo condenado por los asesinatos que aterrorizaron Vitoria hace dos décadas, está a punto de salir de prisión cuando los crímenes se reanudan. En la Catedral Vieja, una pareja de veinte años aparece muerta por picaduras de abeja en la garganta. Pero solo serán los primeros.

Unai López de Ayala, un joven experto en perfiles criminales, está obsesionado con prevenir los asesinatos, pero una tragedia personal no le permite encarar el caso como uno más. Sus métodos enervan a Alba, la subcomisaria, con quien mantiene una ambigua relación marcada por los crímenes, pero el tiempo corre en su contra y la amenaza acecha en cualquier rincón de la ciudad. ¿Quién será el siguiente?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"You'll want to race through The Silence of the White City, but it's best to slow down and savor the full effect of the volatile, intoxicating universe Sáenz has created. This is the first novel of the White City trilogy to be translated into English--the second can't come fast enough." --AirMail

Made into a movie titled "El silencio de la ciudad blanca" / "Twin Murders: The Silence of the White City".

HOW DO YOU STOP A KILLER WHO'S ALWAYS TWO STEPS AHEAD?

A madman is holding Vitoria hostage, killing its citizens in brutal ways and staging the bodies. The city's only hope is a brilliant detective struggling to battle his own demons.

Inspector Unai López de Ayala, known as "Kraken," is charged with investigating a series of ritualistic murders. The killings are eerily similar to ones that terrorized the citizens of Vitoria twenty years earlier. But back then, police were sure they had discovered the killer, a prestigious archaeologist who is currently in jail. Now Kraken must race to determine whether the killer had an accomplice or if the wrong man has been incarcerated for two decades. This fast-paced, unrelenting thriller weaves in and out of the mythology and legends of the Basque country as it hurtles to its shocking conclusion.
