Mikel Santiago
Dive into Mikel Santiago's new thriller, where present-day intrigue unearths hidden secrets from a past that threatens to rewrite the protagonist's history.
To unravel the deepest truth, it is imperative to immerse oneself unreservedly in the mists of the past. After consolidating his position as an undisputed thriller benchmark with the acclaimed Illumbe Trilogy and the unsettling The Forgotten Son, captivating over 1,500,000 readers, the master of suspense, Mikel Santiago, returns to challenge the limits of intrigue once again. This time, he introduces us to Quintana Torres, a writer whose success is undeniable, acclaimed by the media as "the new queen of thriller." However, her life takes an unexpected turn during a routine book signing in Bilbao. There, an old high school classmate approaches her and hands her an enigmatic black envelope. Inside, there is nothing more than a disturbing photograph: an image of the diary of Alba, the teenager whose tragic death in strange circumstances inspired Quintana's most celebrated novel, The Girl by the Lake. This disconcerting discovery acts as a trigger. Quintana is forced to immediately cancel her successful promotional tour, compelled by an irresistible force to return to the place where it all began: her father's old house in Urkizu, the small, secluded village in the interior of the Basque Country that holds the secrets of her past. It was precisely in Urkizu, during the mystical Midsummer's Eve of 1999, when Alba disappeared forever, taking with her not only her life, but also that enigmatic diary that was her inseparable confidant. Mikel Santiago immerses us in a thriller that is a pure reflection of his unmistakable style, where the investigation that unfolds in the present is nothing more than a master key that unlocks sealed doors in the past. Each clue, each revelation, gives a completely new meaning to events that were believed to be resolved. Throughout a relentless plot, with no respite for the reader, this novel weaves a thrilling journey through various settings —from vibrant Bilbao to mysterious Urkizu, passing through Madrid— following the footsteps of a protagonist who not only pursues a secret, but confronts the hidden truth that has remained silent for years, threatening to rewrite her own story.
