After the success of The Liar and In the Middle of the Night, comes the long-awaited ending to the “Illumbe Trilogy,” a masterful thriller filled with mystery and unexpected twists, the key to which could well reside in the question pulsing at the very core of this story—is it possible to bury a secret forever? Sometimes, the dead never rest, and maybe they shouldn’t until justice is served. Nobody knows it better than Nerea Arruti, Ertzaintza agent at Illumbe, a lonely woman that drags around her own dead bodies and ghosts from the past. A forbidden story about love, a supposedly accidental death, a manor house overlooking the Cantabrian Sea, where everybody has something to hide and we find a mysterious character known as the Raven, whose name emerges as a shadow throughout the novel. These are the ingredients in an investigation that will gradually get more complicated page after page, and in which Arruti, as the reader will soon discover, will turn out to be more than just the agent handling the case.
