More About This Title Death on a Galician Shore

English

A cleverly plotted, page-turning murder mystery set on the beautiful, rugged coast of Galicia in northwest Spain

One misty autumn dawn, in a quiet fishing port in northwest Spain, the body of a sailor washes up in the harbor. Detective Inspector Leo Caldas is called in from police headquarters in the nearby city of Vigo to sign off on what appears to be a suicide; but details soon come to light that turn this routine matter into a complex murder investigation. Finding out the truth is not easy when the villagers are so suspicious of outsiders. As Caldas delves into the maritime life of the village, he uncovers a disturbing decade-old case of a shipwreck and two mysterious disappearances. This chilling story of violence, blackmail, and revenge has enthralled readers across Europe.

"A satisfying read. . . . A traditional procedural laced with gothic menace, mouthwatering descriptions of Galician cuisine and some wonderfully tetchy sparring."  —Guardian"Enthralling"  —Publishers Weekly
