If you want to discover the truth, you will have to dive into the past. After the success of the Trilogía Illumbre and El hijo olvidado, with more than 1,500,000 readers, the master of thriller returns: Mikel Santiago. Quintana Torres is a successful writer, dubbed "the new queen of thriller" by the media. During a book signing in Bilbao, an old schoolmate hands her a mysterious black envelope containing a photograph of Alba's diary, the teenager who died under strange circumstances and inspired Quintana's most famous novel, "The Girl from the Lake." This discovery prompts Quintana to cancel her promotional tour and return to her father's old house in Urkizu, the small inland village in the Basque Country where it all happened. It was there, on the night of San Juan in 1999, that Alba disappeared forever, along with her enigmatic diary. In true Mikel Santiago style, this thriller involves an investigation in the present that opens doors to the past, giving new meaning to everything that happened. The novel takes the reader through various settings—Bilbao, Madrid, and Urkizu—following a protagonist who confronts a secret hidden for years.
