When the storm passes
Manel Loureiro redefines the thriller genre with his latest novel, winner of the 2024 Fernando Lara Award. Stranded on Ons, a small island off the Atlantic coast of Galicia, Roberto Lobeira has no way to reach the mainland or communicate with the outside world due to a storm that feels like a harbinger of tragedy. When he finds a mysterious bundle washed ashore, its contents ignite decades-old resentment, jealousy, unresolved grudges, and a thirst for revenge among the island's few inhabitants. To make matters worse, a sinister, lurking presence leaves a bloody offering at his doorstep, a cryptic message he can’t decipher. Caught in a whirlwind of hatred, unspeakable secrets, and unrestrained ambition, Lobeira must survive on the island… until the storm passes. Rights sold: English World Rights (Amazon Crossing)
