About the Author:
Domingo Villar grew up in Vigo, Galicia and now lives in Madrid. His two novels, both featuring Inspector Leo Caldas, have been highly acclaimed top-ten bestsellers in Spain, and he is the winner of a Brigada 21 Prize for best crime novel. Death on a Galician Shore is his second novel.
Review:
A precise portrait of a misty, insular environment, of peaceful people caught up in violence. And a very clever plot.―La Vanguardia
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.―El Pais
The rugged coastline of Galicia makes a suitably unsettling setting ... Caldas is an engaging copper―The Times
A satisfying read ... a traditional procedural laced with gothic menace―The Guardian
