About this listen
Queralt Bonmatí, una joven barcelonesa de familia pudiente, aparece asesinada en un paraje idílico del Camino de Santiago. Había salido tres semanas antes de Roncesvalles, donde tuvo un incidente con un desconocido, pero esta es sólo una de las pistas que no ayudan a una resolución rápida. El subteniente Bevilacqua recibe del máximo jefe del cuerpo, el teniente general Pereira, el encargo de ocuparse de la investigación, dado el perfi l del padre de la víctima, Ferran Bonmatí, un expolítico y empresario vinculado al independentismo catalán que a su vez está en el radar de la justicia por sus oscuras actividades en apoyo del desafío al Estado.
El caso llevará a Bevilacqua desde Lugo hasta Barcelona, la ciudad a la que llegó en los días del sueño olímpico, donde vivió acontecimientos que removerán su corazón y su memoria y que en el otoño de 2019 verá incendiarse con la llama de una rabia que viene de lejos. Una llama a la que no era ajena la víctima, una veinteañera díscola que, tras revolverse contra los suyos, hacía el Camino para encontrar su propio lugar.

Story
Con este mensaje inesperado, el pasado vuelve para sacudir la vida de un antiguo agente secreto cuando ya no tiene el escudo de su organización. Participó en la guerra sucia del Estado, convencido de su causa: la defensa de una sociedad democrática y de las víctimas inocentes contra la violencia terrorista. Pero el tiempo ha pasado, no todo salió bien y la justificación es muy lejana, mientras que él ya no puede abandonar el lado oscuro. La críptica comunicación que acaba de recibir lo reclama de nuevo.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Not only was her career ruined, she was also accused of having an affair with fellow teacher and prime suspect Graham. Facing questions from journalists, police and family, Anna said she didn’t know what happened. She was lying. Now, Anna has returned to Australia. Her only hope is Land’s End Area School, an isolated concrete wasteland perched on the cliffs.

Story
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

Story
My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

England, 1914. The world is at war. Captain Hastings, injured and shaken, is invited to Styles Court to recover. It’s a grand old country house - the family home of his old friend - and a perfect haven. Or so it seems. But in the blistering summer heat, trouble is afoot. Simmering tensions are tearing the family apart, and it all comes to a head in the most horrifying way.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Story
Tess Strebel can’t recognize her own face. She can’t recognize her home. Her bedroom is unfamiliar. And she can’t remember the handsome stranger lying next to her in bed. A stranger who claims he’s her husband. Tess reads a letter in her own handwriting, composed during a rare lucid day, explaining her life as it now exists: she was in a terrible car accident one year ago. Every morning, she wakes up unable to remember most of the last decade. Including her own wedding.

This series continues to get better and better!
I have listened to and/or read all of the books in the Bevilacqua- Chamorro series and this is one of the best. I like how in this and also in “el mal de corcira” we learn more about Vila’s past through the interspersing of his memories with the present case he is working on. You won’t go wrong with any of the books in the series and if you are just discovering Vila and Chamorro, you should probably start at the beginning of the series, but I still can’t help thinking that this is one of my favorites.
