Summary:
"Ojos de agua es una novela policiaca de corte clásico con agilidad narrativa y detalles sutiles que irán desvelando una trama más compleja. [...] Es también un homenaje a las ausencias: la de las mujeres, la de la melodía de un saxofón, la de la claridad en las respuestas y, sobre todo, la de Galicia"- El País
Set amid the aromatic sea and forest of Vigo, Spain, this captivating thriller opens with the discovery of a young saxophonist found murdered in his posh, beachside apartment. An unusually cruel murder, the body is found tied by the wrists to the bed’s headboard, with two glasses of whiskey nearby, and bearing hideous burns across its midsection. The disheartened police inspector assigned to the mysterious case, Leo Caldas, stealthily moves his investigation between the inviting jazz clubs and the affected atmosphere of the upper crust, all whilst on the look out for a more headily desired object—a sense of meaning and purpose in his life.
