El ángel y la muerte

Seville, 17th century. After fifteen years in the New World, Friar Diego de Luna returns to his hometown. He doesn't come willingly: a former superior assigns him a disturbing task, to investigate a series of seemingly ritualistic crimes. But the investigation awakens something more: a trace of his own past that forces him to confront the mystery… and himself. In a Seville of chiaroscuro, where faith coexists with corruption and power reeks of sulfur and incense, Friar Diego moves through alleyways, sacristies, and secret passageways. He is accompanied by a young apprentice; his own ghosts haunt him. And every step brings him closer to an unexpected, dangerous… and all-too-close truth. Can a man of faith live with doubt? How far will he dare to go to achieve justice? And what price will he have to pay? The Angel and Death is a novel that blends criminal intrigue and history with the intensity of a thriller and the richness of the best historical narrative. A fascinating immersion into the dark heart of Baroque Seville.
