LIBRO DEL VERANO SEGÚN MARIE CLAIRE
«Arantza Portabales consigue que el lector sospeche de todos. [...] Negra, muy negra . -Carmen Mola
Úrsula Bas, escritora de éxito, lleva una vida aparentemente anodina en Santiago de Compostela. Un viernes de febrero sale de su casa para dar una charla en una biblioteca y no regresa. Su marido, Lois Castro, denuncia su desaparición al cabo de veinticuatro horas. Úrsula, que permanece encerrada en un sótano, conoce bien a su secuestrador --un admirador en cuyas redes se ha dejado envolver sin oponer la menor resistencia-- y sabe que tarde o temprano la matará.
MARIE CLAIRE'S SUMMER BOOK RECOMMENDATION
«Arantza Portabales makes the reader suspicious of everyone. [...] Noir, very noir . -Carmen Mola Úrsula Bas, a successful writer, lives an apparently unremarkable life in Santiago de Compostela. One Friday in February she leaves her house to give a talk in a library and does not return. Her husband, Lois Castro, reports her disappearance after twenty-four hours. Úrsula, who remains locked in a basement, knows her kidnapper well--a fan whose webs she has allowed herself to be wrapped up in without offering the slightest resistance--. She knows that sooner or later he will kill her. Inspector Santi Abad who was reinstated to the police force after a year and a half on psychiatric leave, and his partner Ana Barroso, who has just been appointed deputy inspector, begin a relentless search with the help of the new commissioner, Álex Veiga. All their steps lead them towards another unresolved case: that of Catalina Fiz, who disappeared in Pontevedra three years earlier, and towards a murderer who seems to be taking justice into his own hands.
