The White City Trilogy #1
by Eva Garcia Sáenz
Already a major bestseller in Spain and Latin America, the first installment of the sensational White City Trilogy introduces Inspector Unai López de Ayala and follows his hunt for a terrifying serial killer.
Young Inspector Unai López de Ayala, known as "Kraken," is charged with investigating a series of ritualistic murders. The murders are eerily similar to ones that rattled 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 whether the wrong man has been incarcerated for two decades. This fast-paced, unrelenting thriller weaves in and out of mythology and legends of the Basque country as it hurtles to its shocking conclusion.
"The first installment in García Sáenz's White City Trilogy is a work of impressive scope and depth, compellingly written." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"[S]tunning...Fascinating local color, a handsomely crafted plot, and exquisite characterization make this a standout. Readers will eagerly await the next volume in the series." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
