After the success of The Liar comes the second installment in the trilogy set in Illumbe, the town with the most mysteries and secrets in the Basque Country. A rock band. A concert. A missing girl. It’s been over twenty years, but there are nights that never end. Can one evening make a dent on the fates of everyone who lived it? It has been over twenty years since Diego Letamendia, rock star in decline, performed for the last time in his native city, Illumbe. That night marked the end of the band and their friendship, but it was also the night Lorea, his girlfriend, disappeared. The police never clarified what happened to the girl, last seen exiting the concert hall in a hurry, as if she was running away from something or someone. After the incident, Diego began a successful solo career and never returned to Illumbe. When one of the band members dies in a strange fire, Diego returns to Illumbe. Many years have elapsed, and reuniting with his old friends is hard; none of them is the same person they once were. Meanwhile, there is a growing suspicion that the fire was not accidental. Is it possible that it is all connected, and at long last, Diego may be able to find new leads on what happened to Lorea? Mikel Santiago sets in this imaginary town in the Basque Country, where his latest novel, The Liar, had already transpired, this story marked by a past that could have terrible consequences in the present. A masterful thriller that engulfs us in the nostalgia of the nineties, as we unravel the mystery of that evening everyone struggles to forget.
