pickAnother wonderful book by Javier Cercas. It‘s the first one of the trilogy. I read the second one without knowing that there was a trilogy, and aside of a few spoilers I enjoyed it as much as the second one. Cercas is definitely one of the best contemporary Spanish writers.
pickMelchor Marín, policeman from Cercas's previous novel "Terra alta", is back! Someone's blackmailing the mayor of Barcelona and he's investigating the case. "Independance" combines crime fiction, political thriller and a analysis of contemporary Catalonian society. Cercas is one of the best European novelist, no doubt about it!
pickPolice detective in a remote Spanish region called Terra Alta investigates the murder of a local elderly businessman and his wife while struggling with his personal issues. Highly recommended!
