Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In an exclusive suburb of Seville, Rafael Vega lies dead on the kitchen floor and his wife has been suffocated under her own pillow. It appears to be a suicide pact, but Inspector Jefe Javier Falcón has his doubts. In the brutal summer heat Falcón starts to untangle the mystery of Rafael Vega when he receives threats from the Russian mafia who have begun operating in the city. Within days two further suicides follow — one of them a senior policeman — and a forest fire rages through the hills above Seville, obliterating all in its path. Falcón must now sweat out the truth, revealing that all these events are connected and that there is one more secret in the black heart of Vega's life. Review:"Wilson builds a many-layered portrait of survivors and perpetrators, each consumed by rage, guilt, or depression." Boston Globe Review:"Wilson continues his bold inversion of the classic detective story, in which trifles conceal monstrous evil and every single character really is as guilty as he or she looks." Kirkus Reviews Review:"Wilson's characters are so well drawn that they walk off the page and into your mind." Library Journal Review:"[An] ingeniously complex mystery driven by rich, intelligent dialogue and bathed in a stylish ambience, evoking a world of soulful sophistication." Booklist Synopsis:A suspicious suicide calls Javier Falcon to a wealthy neighborhood on the outskirts of Seville. In quick succession, two more suicides occur — one of them a fellow police officer in the sex crimes unit. As Falcon's investigation deepens, so, too, does suspicion that perhaps these deaths aren't suicides, and the mystery takes a shocking, explosive turn.
