Mikel Santiago
They should read this new work by Mikel Santiago because it is a pure suspense thriller that will unearth a hidden secret from the past, keeping the reader breathless through a relentless and addictive plot.
If truth resides in the shadows of time, then the only way to unearth it is by plunging unreservedly into the abysses of the past. Having captivated over 1,500,000 readers with the successful Illumbe Trilogy and the acclaimed novel The Forgotten Son, Mikel Santiago, undisputed master of the thriller, returns with a new work that promises to keep the reader breathless. This time, he introduces us to Quintana Torres, a writer whose fame has skyrocketed, hailed by the media as "the new queen of thriller." Her life takes an unexpected turn during a book signing in Bilbao, when a former high school classmate approaches her and hands her an enigmatic black envelope. Inside, Quintana discovers a disturbing photograph that appears to be a page from the diary of Alba, the teenager whose death under strange circumstances inspired Quintana's most renowned novel, The Girl from the Lake. This surprising discovery not only sows doubt in the writer's mind about the truth of the events, but also prompts her to immediately cancel her successful promotional tour. Quintana is forced to return to her father's old house in Urkizu, the small, secluded inland town in the Basque Country that was the scene of the tragedy. It was precisely there, during the magical and mysterious Midsummer's Eve of 1999, that Alba disappeared without a trace, and with her, that enigmatic diary she never parted with also vanished, only to now seem to reappear fragmented. This new installment by Mikel Santiago consolidates itself as a pure suspense thriller, where each step of the investigation in the present only opens floodgates that remained sealed in the past. Each revelation will give an entirely different meaning to everything that was believed to be known about what happened then. Through an incessant plot that offers no respite, the novel drags the reader through diverse and contrasting settings, from the vibrant streets of Bilbao and the effervescence of Madrid, to the quiet and enigmatic Urkizu. We closely follow a protagonist who faces the arduous task of unraveling a secret hidden for years, a secret that could rewrite Alba's story and her own. Early critical reactions already confirm it: "Dazzles in every paragraph," according to El Correo, and Publishers Weekly calls it "Truly addictive."
