Haven

After the success of “The Hidden Cove,” Maria Orunya continued the detective series about Inspector Valentina Redondo and Englishman Oliver Gordon, who moved to live in Cantabria after a personal drama. The action of the new novel once again unfolds in the vicinity of the town of Suances and the villa “Marina.” The residents have not yet recovered from a series of murders that occurred a few months ago when one early morning in the ancient ruins, the body of a young woman is found, lying in the pose of Sleeping Beauty and dressed in an exquisite outfit of a medieval lady. In her palm, the “princess” clutches an ancient coin. The autopsy results are shocking: could the deceased actually have come straight from the Middle Ages? But before the press can pick up and inflate the sensation, proposing the silly idea of a time-traveling murderer, another body is found. And Valentina Redondo begins her investigation. Coming towards her team is Oliver Gordon, seemingly on a completely different path, trying to find his brother, from whom there has been no news for several years. The two investigations will meet at one point, and the truth will turn out to be strange and shocking. A new Cantabrian noir set against the stunningly beautiful landscapes of northern Spain.
