Una novela negra absorbente que mezcla mitologia y leyendas, arqueologia y secretos de familia. Elegante. Compleja. Hipnotica. Tasio Ortiz de Zarate, el brillante arqueologo condenado por los asesinatos que aterrorizaron Vitoria hace dos decadas, esta a punto de salir de prision cuando los crimenes se reanudan. En la Catedral Vieja, una pareja de veinte anos aparece muerta por picaduras de abeja en la garganta. Pero solo seran los primeros. Unai Lopez de Ayala, un joven experto en perfiles criminales, esta obsesionado con prevenir los asesinatos, pero una tragedia personal no le permite encarar el caso como uno mas. Sus metodos enervan a Alba, la subcomisaria, con quien mantiene una ambigua relacion marcada por los crimenes, pero el tiempo corre en su contra y la amenaza acecha en cualquier rincon de la ciudad. ?Quien sera el siguiente? ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "You'll want to race through The Silence of the White City, but it's best to slow down and savor the full effect of the volatile, intoxicating universe Saenz has created. This is the first novel of the White City trilogy to be translated into English-the second can't come fast enough." -AirMail Made into a movie titled "El silencio de la ciudad blanca" / "Twin Murders: The Silence of the White City". HOW DO YOU STOP A KILLER WHO'S ALWAYS TWO STEPS AHEAD? A madman is holding Vitoria hostage, killing its citizens in brutal ways and staging the bodies. The city's only hope is a brilliant detective struggling to battle his own demons. Inspector Unai Lopez de Ayala, known as "Kraken," is charged with investigating a series of ritualistic murders. The killings are eerily similar to ones that terrorized the citizens of Vitoria twenty years earlier. But back then, police were sure they had discovered the killer, a prestigious archaeologist who is currently in jail. Now Kraken must race to determine whether the killer had an accomplice or if the wrong man has been incarcerated for two decades. This fast-paced, unrelenting thriller weaves in and out of the mythology and legends of the Basque country as it hurtles to its shocking conclusion.
