Cultural Programme Already a #1 international bestseller, this tautly
written and gripping psychological thriller forces a
police inspector to reluctantly return to her hometown in
Basque Country—a place engulfed in mythology and
superstition—to solve a series of eerie murders. When the naked body of a teenage girl is found on a
riverbank in Basque Country, Spain, homicide inspector
Amaia Salazar must return to the hometown she always
sought to escape. A dark secret from Amaia’s past plagues
her with nightmares, and as her investigation deepens,
the old pagan beliefs of the community threaten to derail
her astute detective work. The lines between mythology
and reality begin to blur, and Amaia must discover
whether the crimes are the work of a ritualistic killer
or of a mythical creature known as the Basajaun, the
Invisible Guardian. Torn between the rational procedures of her job and the
local superstitions of a region shaped by the Spanish
Inquisition, Amaia fights against the demons of her past
in order to track down a killer on the run.
