Description
The mayor of Barcelona is being blackmailed. A sex tape from her student days - one she never knew existed.
The price: 300,000 euros and her immediate resignation. A political chameleon who swept to power on a populist wave, she has her enemies.
Nor can she trust those closest to her. Both her ex-husband and her deputy would profit from her fall. Melchor MarÃn, living a quiet life in Terra Alta, is tempted back to Barcelona to work the case.
But what seemed a simple matter has its roots in far more serious and disturbing crimes. With the mayor on the verge of capitulation, a shock revelation changes everything - not least the course of Melchor's life.
At long last, his heart's dark desire is in his grasp.
Praise for Even the Darkest Night"A gem of a book, easily the best I've read this year" M W Craven"A wonderful novel.
I look forward to many more Melchor stories" A N Wilson"The first in what promises to be an excellent series" GuardianTranslated from the Spanish by Anne McLean
