The mayor of Barcelona is being blackmailed. An erotic film from her college years - one she never knew existed. The price: 300,000 euros and her immediate resignation. A political chameleon who rose to power with a populist wave, she has enemies. Nor can she trust those closest to her. Both her ex-husband and her deputy would benefit from her downfall. Melchor Marín, living a quiet life in Terra Alta, is drawn back to Barcelona to take on the case. But what seemed like a simple case has roots in much more serious and disturbing crimes. With the mayor on the brink of surrender, a shocking revelation changes everything - not least the course of Melchor's life. At last, the dark desire of his heart is in his hands.

Praise for "Even the Darkest Night": "A piece of the book, easily the best I've read this year" M W Craven "A wonderful novel. I look forward to many more Melchor stories" A N Wilson "The first in a series that promises to be outstanding" Guardian
