Synopsis |
 |
It's Semana Santa in Seville, the Easter week of passion and processions. A leading restaurateur is found bound, gagged and grotesquely murdered in front of his TV. Self-inflicted wounds tell of the man's struggle to avoid the unendurable images he's been forced to watch. At this horrific scene the normally dispassionate homicide detective Javier Falc+n is inexplicably afraid. What could be so terrible?
The investigation into the victim's turbulent life sends Falc+n trawling through his own past and the ferociously candid journals of his late father, a world-famous artist. Painful revelations churn up Falc+n's unreliable memory and more killings push him to the edge of terrifying truth. And Falc+n realizes that this is not just a hunt for the all-seeing killer who knows his victims' secret lives but also the search for his own missing heart.
From the Gold Dagger award-winning author of A Small Death in Lisbon, a novel that combines the tension of a psychological thriller with the emotional intensity of a literary tour de force.
