À propos de cet audio

INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER • WINNER OF SPAIN’S BIGGEST LITERARY PRIZE • Barcelona detective Melchor Marín is sent to the countryside to investigate a horrific double murder. Before long, it becomes clear that nothing about the case is quite as it seems in this “sweeping romantic novel in the form of a police procedural” (Wall Street Journal).

The first book in the internationally acclaimed series: Melchor, the son of a prostitute, went to prison as a teenager, convicted of working for a Colombian drug cartel. Behind bars, he read a book that changed his life: Les Misérables. Then his mother was murdered. He decided to become a cop.

This new case, in Terra Alta, a remote region of rural Catalonia—the murder of a wealthy local man and his wife—will turn Melchor’s life upside down yet again.

Even the Darkest Night is a thought-provoking, elegantly constructed thriller about justice, revenge, and, above all, the struggles of a righteous man trying to find his place in a corrupt world.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Cercas delivers masterful storytelling here, weaving a compelling drama . . . Moving . . . A winning choice for both literary—and crime-fiction book groups.” —Christine Tran, Booklist (starred)

“Even the Darkest Night is the first in what promises to be an excellent series . . . History casts a long shadow over this tale of political and personal loyalties.” —Laura Wilson, Guardian

“It stays in the memory . . . Cercas perfectly captures the fearful mood of a town in rural Catalonia after the crime.” —Joan Smith, The Sunday Times

Les plus pertinents  
An unusual story within a story, Les. Miserables. Full of literary goodies, literary references about the power of books to heal, danger, murder in a small, dusty Catalan town. All the characters are ably brought to life by narrator who doesn’t mangle the Spanish place names, expressions. A mystery of hate and hope, in equal doses, just a wonderful listen. When do we get second install ent in series?

Loved it!
