As Falcón investigates a mutilated, faceless corpse unearthed on the municipal dump, the beautiful city of Seville is rocked by a massive explosion, which devastates an apartment building and a nearby kindergarten. When it's discovered that there was a mosque in the basement, everyone's terrorist fears are confirmed. The high summer heat tightens its grip. Panic seeps the city and the region is on red alert.
With the media and political pressure intensifying, Falcón realises that all is not as it appears. But just as he comes close to cracking the conspiracy, he makes the most terrifying discovery of all. The race is on to prevent a major catastrophe far beyond Spain's borders.

Paperback. Condition: Fine condition. This is the gripping new psychological thriller featuring Javier Falcon, the tortured detective from "The Silent and the Damned" and "The Blind Man of Seville" Summer is always particularly hard on Sevillian homicide detective Javier Falcon. As the streets heat up so do people's tempers and the crime rate soars. But this year, things are about to get even hotter. A routine investigation into a fire turns up something far more sinister: remnants of bomb-making equipment. Suddenly, Falcon finds himself at the centre of a full-scale terrorist alert. As panic sweeps the city, emptying its bars and restaurants and sparking false alarms and evacuations, Falcon's family connections in Morocco quickly make him a central figure in the investigation, allowing him to use his relationships to establish a vital source of information. A bizarre picture begins to emerge, linking apparently Islamist terror acts to a shadowy and well-connected Catholic organization bent on revenge. However, the stakes start getting dramatically higher. High-profile arrests, a series of explosions and a suspect publicly gunned down in the street rock the city to its core.Reports of arms deals and stolen radioactive material begin to circulate as a fifteen man cell lands in Seville. But it is only when the cell goes missing that Falcon makes the most terrifying discovery of all! First published 2006. Seller Inventory # 26622300
