The Ignorance of Blood

As a sweltering Seville recovers from the shock of a terrorist attack Inspector Jefe Javier Falcón is struggling to find the bombers. The death of a gangster in a spectacular car crash offers vital evidence implicating the Russian mafia in his investigation but it pitches Falcón into the heart of a turf war over prostitution and drugs. Now the target of vicious hoods Falcón finds those closest to him are also coming under intolerable pressure: his best friend who’s spying for the Spanish government reveals that he is being blackmailed by Islamist extremists and Falcón’s own lover suffers a mother’s worst nightmare. He might be able to bring the perpetrators of the bombing to justice but there will be a devastating price to pay.
