Review
Praise for ‘The Silent and the Damned’:
‘First rate... Wilson at his best, a taut, gripping narrative and a sensitive study of the tormented detective.’ Telegraph
‘Wilson’s plotting is intricate, his detective endearingly human, Seville a captivating venue. This is crime fiction of high order.’ The Times
‘Its plotting is persuasive, its characterisation shrewd.’ Times Literary Supplement
Praise for ‘The Blind Man of Seville:’
‘Crime writing at its very best, but it is also something more... it excites, it surprises and it satisfies.This is a fine important novel.’ Philip Oakes, Literary Review
‘Admirably paced and enthrallingly elaborate.’ Sunday Times
‘To call [this] a thriller is to do a grave injustice to an utterly stunning achievement... a psychological thriller of real profundity. Wonderful!’ Paul Preston, author of Franco
‘An ingenious and compelling thriller.’ Toby Clements, Daily Telegraph
‘Brilliant.’ Chris Petit, Guardian
Synopsis
This is the gripping new psychological thriller featuring Javier Falcon, the tortured detective from "The Silent and the Damned" and "The Blind Man of Seville". Summer is always particularly hard on Sevillian homicide detective Javier Falcon. As the streets heat up so do people's tempers and the crime rate soars. But this year, things are about to get even hotter. A routine investigation into a fire turns up something far more sinister: remnants of bomb-making equipment. Suddenly, Falcon finds himself at the centre of a full-scale terrorist alert. As panic sweeps the city, emptying its bars and restaurants and sparking false alarms and evacuations, Falcon's family connections in Morocco quickly make him a central figure in the investigation, allowing him to use his relationships to establish a vital source of information. A bizarre picture begins to emerge, linking apparently Islamist terror acts to a shadowy and well-connected Catholic organization bent on revenge. However, the stakes start getting dramatically higher. High-profile arrests, a series of explosions and a suspect publicly gunned down in the street rock the city to its core.
Reports of arms deals and stolen radioactive material begin to circulate as a fifteen man cell lands in Seville. But it is only when the cell goes missing that Falcon makes the most terrifying discovery of all!"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
