The complete novel
In Nerja, the whitewashed streets glow like bone under the lamplight and the tourists never look twice. Then a body surfaces beneath the Balcón de Europa, and forensic investigator Dr Alex Marquez finds a wound pattern he last saw on a case that was officially closed nine years ago. Detective Carmen Reyes has three days before the season starts and a town that would rather the sea kept its secrets.
