ÁNGELA BANZAS IS BACK
THE VOICE OF THE GALICIAN THRILLER A killer wrapped in shadow, a rose, a chain of thorns. A floating forest where fear conceals terrible secrets. Cortegada Island, 1910. The discovery of young girl's body at the Festival of the Slaughter has residents in an uproar, especially given the circumstances and atrocity of the crime. The guilty party: poet Guillermo de Foz. The sentence: death by garrote. Armenteira Monastery, Pontevedra, 2002. Restoration work in the cloister unearths a previously unknown notebook containing de Foz's confession. Antía Fontán, a professor of literature at the Sorbonne, travels to Galicia to examine the finding. Little does she know that what she discovers there will go beyond the professional, revealing a story of love, death and sinister interests. Fontán soon finds herself connected to a series of murders perpetrated by a killer who follows the modus operandi of literature's fallen angels. And the so-called Rose Killer seems to have only one audience in mind: her. Following the success of El silencio de las olas [The Silence of the Waves] and La conjura de la niebla [The Conjure of the Mist], Ángela Banzas puts her narrative talents on full display in this mystery that grows more tense with every page. La sombra de la rosa [The Shadow of the Rose] is a nimbly written novel, full of repercussions and dramatic effects, that explores the roots of evil, connecting us with the dark side of love and the bloodiest episodes in world literature. Shadows, roses and thorns.
