    About this ebook

    A powerful account of self-discovery, this novel is a sophisticated and nail-biting pageturner by one of Spain's most accomplished authors

    Having left her job and boyfriend, 30-year-old Sandra decides to stay in a village on the Costa Blanca in order to take stock of her life and find a new direction. She befriends Karin and Fredrik, an elderly Norwegian couple, who provide her with stimulating company and take the place of the grandparents she never had. However, when she meets Julián, a former concentration-camp inmate who has just returned to Europe from Argentina, she discovers that all is not what it seems and finds herself involved in a perilous quest for the truth.

      Brilliant book. This was a surprise. When I began reading, I thought it would be just another book about Nazi hunters and justice. It turned out to be so much more.
      Like the best novels, this one is about the primary characters and how they change in the course of their quest. A woman who accidentally gets wrapped up with an enclave of Nazis in hiding eventually finds a better focus for her life by becoming more mature. A man who survived the camps is given the opportunity to finally triumph in a life filled with failures...failures to bring Nazis to justice, and a deep and abiding failure to live his life for its own value rather than living always in the past pain.
      A very subtle yet highly suspenseful read. I couldn't put this one down. Well worth the time, and I will look for more by this author.
