ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

After Justicia, Javier Díez Carmona returns with a thriller set in the most isolated and wild side of the Basque Country.

A story of secrets, disappearances, and depravity.

Agurtzane Loizaga, a professor at the University of Bilbao, recently moved with her partner to a farmhouse in Las Encartaciones region. They thought they were happy in the islolated village until, overnight, Agurtzane's girlfriend disappeared. Although the police give little importance to it, a series of indications suggest that her departure was not voluntary.

Osmany Arechabala has been living in Bilbao for months, far from his native Cuba, when an old friend asks him for help to find his daughter. There is no news from her since she left the home of the old ladies that she cared for in Las Encartaciones. Osmany, accompanied by Nekane Gordobil, an Ertzaintza deputy officer on sick leave, decides to accept the assignment without being aware of the dimensions of his commitment.

With a sublime atmosphere, this novel takes us to the rugged heart of the Basque Country to tell us a story of crimes, hidden vices, and a past that refuses to disappear.
