Domingo Villar – författare

Galicien är ett land av kontraster, där allt insinueras och ingenting blir sagt. Kriminalinspektör Leo Caldas utredning av det brutala mordet på en homosexuell saxofonist sker i skymningens skuggor och röken från barer; mitt i en mun vin blandad med doften av pinjeträd och saltvatten. Författaren Domingo Villars närmast poetiska skildring av det vackra landskapet står i stark kontrast till de mörka brott Leo Caldas utreder.

One misty autumn dawn in a quiet fishing port in northwest Spain, the body of a sailor washes up in the harbour. Detective Inspector Leo Caldas is called in from police headquarters in the nearby city of Vigo to sign off on what appears to be a suicide. But details soon come to light that turn this routine matter into a complex murder investigation. Finding out the truth is not easy when the villagers are so suspicious of outsiders. As Caldas delves into the maritime life of the village, he uncovers a disturbing decade-old case of a shipwreck and two mysterious disappearances. Death on a Galician Shore is a chilling story of violence, blackmail and revenge that has enthralled readers across Europe...
