[Spanish] - La tristeza del samurái

"Extremadura 1941 / Barcelona 1981 Dos tramas se desarrollan de forma paralela; una en Extremadura en el año 1941; la otra en Barcelona en 1981. Un crimen cometido durante la posguerra española produce consecuencias en tres generaciones de la familia Alcalá y en aquellos que se han cruzado en sus vidas durante cuarenta años. Complots, secuestros, asesinatos, torturas, violencia machista, son algunos ingredientes de esta fantástica novela. Con un estilo descriptivo pero no por ello lento, el autor narra los acontecimientos ocurridos y poco a poco va entrelazando los personajes de ambas tramas, entrando en la psicología de cada uno de ellos. El resultado es una magnífica novela de intriga e investigación, de sentimientos y rencores, de amor y odio, de ambición y dolor, de hipocresía y sobre todo de culpa, una lacra que se transmite de generación en generación, donde los hijos heredan los delitos de los padres y los nietos los de sus abuelos. Una novela que atrapa al lector desde el primer momento."

Above the Rain

"In the latest novel from a master of European crime fiction, past, present, and future intertwine on a breathtaking journey from Tangier in 1955 to Malmö in 2014. Miguel and Helena meet at a nursing home in Tarifa, at an age when they believe they have lived it all already. Miguel is afraid of flying. Helena is afraid of the ocean. Both have adult children and feel they are no longer needed. The dramatic suicide of one of the other residents opens their eyes. They don't want to spend their last days remembering and longing for supposedly better times. Together they decide to undertake the journey of their lives and confront the darkness in their pasts. Meanwhile, in the distant Swedish city of Malmö, the young Yasmina, a child of Moroccan immigrants who dreams of being a singer, lives trapped between the care of her authoritarian grandfather Abdul and the contempt of her mother, who is ashamed of Yasmina because she works for a Swede with a murky reputation. And has a secret love affair with the Deputy Commissioner of the Swedish police, an older, influential man. As Yasmina is drawn deeper into Malmö’s criminal underworld and Miguel and Helena approach the end of their feverish road trip, Víctor del Árbol masterfully reconstructs the history of violence that links their seemingly disparate lives."
