Sete Caveiras
When the journalist Marta Vilas discovers the body of a driver floating in the Vigo harbour, she doesn't imagine that the small toy the murderer hid in his pocket is about to change her life. That click, from the first series of the discontinued Famobil, is the only thing that seems to tie this murder to that of the civil guard rescued by a fisherman in Cangas, at the other side of the river. And with the bodies which, over the coming days, will gradually appear in different places along the Galician coast. Fast-paced and entertaining, Seven Skulls draws together a series of murders in real locations with marked events from the 1980s. This 21st-century novel, with evident nods to the classics of Agatha Christie, is the author's homage to the profession of journalism which, moreover, weaves a fascinating plot with the soundtrack of la Movida.
