Summary
Eva Garcia Saenz De Urturi: The Silence of the White City
In the first novel of the sensational White City Trilogy, Inspector Unai López de Ayala aka Kraken follows the trail of cruel ritual murders that shake the Basque city of Vitoria.
Always two bodies. A man and a woman, with a hand on the other's cheek, almost as a comforting touch. It was like that twenty years ago, and it's like that today, a few days before the man convicted of murders is to be released from prison - the once celebrated, but now hated, brilliant archaeologist Tasio Ortiz de Zárate. Inspector Ayala, a young star of the Vittoria police, has a difficult task: to find out how Tasio continued to kill from prison, or to find the killer who made the hero of Kraken's childhood spend two decades in prison innocent. In the mystical atmosphere of the Basque Country, following the trail of blood, which leads from ancient dolmens and Celtic sites to the Old Cathedral and the magnificent palaces of Vitoria - this furiously paced thriller captures us in its web and does not allow us to rest.
Can past sins be atone for?
Can the heart of darkness be reached by following the flight of the bee?
And is there a return from there?
