In the brutal heat of a Seville summer, he dissects the disturbing life of the boy’s father, Rafael Vega. His investigation draws threats from the Russian mafia whose corruption reaches deep into the city. He questions a creative American couple with a destructive past and uncovers the misery of a famous actor whose only son is in prison for an appalling crime. More suicides follow and one of them is a senior policeman. As a forest fire rages through the hills above the city Falcon must sweat out the truth that connects it all – and find the final secret in the dark heart of Vega’s life.

The sweltering city of Seville is still recovering from a shocking and unsolved terrorist attack but now a spectacular car crash brings to light another threat. A dead gangster and a suitcase filled with millions in cash means the prospect of a serious Russian mafia presence on Inspector Jefe Javier Falcón's beat. As a turf war erupts, Falcón finds himself and those closest to him personally targeted by the lethal forces suddenly unleashed. In the face of such a brutal attack, Falcón decides to retaliate with a ruthlessness that surprises him as much as his adversaries – but it will come at a tragic price.

The gripping new psychological thriller featuring Javier Falcon, the tortured detective from ‘The Silent and the Damned’ and ‘The Blind Man of Seville.’ As Inspector Jefe Javier Falcon investigates a faceless corpse unearthed on a municipal dump, Seville is rocked by a massive explosion. An apartment block is destroyed, and when it's discovered that its basement housed a mosque everybody's terrorist fears are confirmed. Panic sweeps the city, more bodies are dragged from rubble, the climate of fear infects everyone and terror invades the domestic life of flamboyant judge Calderon and the troubled mind of Consuelo, Falcon's one-time lover. With the media and political pressure intensifying, Falcon realizes all is not as it appears. But as he comes close to cracking a conspiracy, he discovers an even more terrifying plot – and the race is on to prevent a catastrophe far beyond Spain's borders.

This stunning, atmospheric thriller set in war-torn Europe won the CWA Gold Dagger and has now been reissued with the Javier Falcon series.

Catarina Oliveira er bare femten år da hun blir myrdet. Hun blir funnet naken på en strand i nærheten av Lisboa. Noen har slått henne i hodet med en stump gjenstand. Catarina Oliveira var i all sin ungdommelige selvsikkerhet ingen enkel person. Mange hadde motiv for å drepe henne. Politietterforsker Zé Coelho innser snart at saken har røtter i Portugals historie. Sporene peker mot revolusjonsåret 1974 – det gamle fascistregimets forbrytelser ble aldri gjort opp, og noen kan ha søkt hevn. Men etterforskningen fører ham enda lenger bakover i tiden – til den andre verdenskrig: Den tyske bedriftseieren Klaus Felsen får i 1941 valget mellom å samarbeide med det fryktede SS eller bli drept. Nazistene trenger en mann i Portugal som kan sørge for at Det tredje rike får tilstrekkelige leveranser av wolfram til krigsindustrien sin. Lisboa er i 1941 en underlig arena, der det ikke spiller noen rolle hvilken side du er på. Alt dreier seg om penger og fremtiden. Det er i denne perioden Klaus Felsen inngår en allianse som får fatale konsekvenser for en femtenårig jente et halvt århundre senere. Et lite drap i Lisboa er tildelt den britiske Gold Dagger Award.
