Synopsis: Trapped in the memory of the mysterious woman Sandrine, with no way out or future, Suso Corbacho doesn’t have many options. Despite being a lawyer, he barely survives in Ceuta with the money he receives from his father.
Therefore, when his father asks him to meet with Zallas, a businessman of questionable reputation involved in shady dealings, he can’t refuse. At the same time, the Caliph, a representative of artists to whom Suso owes three thousand euros, orders him to search for Pespá, a desperate man, a victim of extortion related to compromising photos taken decades ago in a well-known establishment in Cádiz. Unexpectedly, something terrible happens before they part ways. Who could be behind it all?
At each step in a search that takes place in the most sordid parts of Cádiz, at each encounter and each death, a new revelation surprises Suso—and the reader—on the path to a truth for which he may not be prepared. Full of twists, unsettling, with a relentless pace and an unforgettable protagonist, Gadir is a thriller that reflects a dark side of Spain, the new novel by an award-winning author acclaimed by critics for her ‘suggestive and groundbreaking work’ (Daniel Arjona, El Cultural).
