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.

ReviewsA precise portrait of a misty, insular environment, of peaceful people caught up in violence. And a very clever plot., Villar seduced us with his first novel, and now confirms himself as an excellent writer with Death on a Galician Shore. The plotting is as good as his descriptions of maritime life., "A satisfying read. . . . A traditional procedural laced with gothic menace, mouthwatering descriptions of Galician cuisine and some wonderfully tetchy sparring." Guardian, The rugged coastline of Galicia makes a suitably unsettling setting ... Caldas is an engaging copper, "A satisfying read. . . . A traditional procedural laced with gothic menace, mouthwatering descriptions of Galician cuisine and some wonderfully tetchy sparring." - Guardian
