New Spanish thriller from the Gold Dagger winning author of A Small Death in Lisbon, introducing Detective Inspector Javier Zurbaran It's Semana Santa in Seville, the Easter week of passion and processions. A leading restaurateur is found bound, gagged and dead in front of his TV. The self-inflicted wounds tell of the man's struggle to avoid the unendurable images he's been forced to watch. When confronted by this horrific scene the normally dispassionate homicide detective Javier Falc???n is inexplicably afraid. What could be so terrible? The investigation into the victim's turbulent life sends Falc???n trawling through his own past and the ferociously candid journals of his late father, a world-famous artist. Painful revelations churn up Falc???n's unreliable memory and more killings push him to the edge of terrifying truth. And he realizes that this is not just a hunt for the all-seeing killer who knows his victims' secret lives but also the search for Falc???n's missing heart. From the Gold Dagger award-winning author of A Small Death in Lisbon, a novel that combines the tension of a psychological thriller with the emotional intensity of a literary tour de force.

This was so dull that I got to the halfway point (with difficulty) and had to give up. All of the characters, especially the hero, are carrying around so much baggage that I don't see how they can get up in the morning. I got to the point where I did not care if all of the characters in the story dropped dead and that is when I put the book down for good.

Excellent book
For me, Robert Wilson's books succeed in all ways. He weaves an intriguing and many-layered story, his characters are well-developed and believable, his dialogue excellent and the writing itself is descriptive and flowing and lyrical without being pompous or calling attention to itself. As each layer is peeled back, the story becomes more compelling.
