The Liar (Illumbe Trilogy 1)

A THRILLER THAT FOOLS YOU UNTIL THE VERY LAST PAGE.

In a small Basque village, no one has secrets from anyone.
Or do they?

There are novels that are impossible to put down once you've read the first few pages. Stories that reinvent suspense and make the reader doubt every time a chapter ends. In this absolutely original and addictive thriller, Mikel Santiago breaks the limits of psychological intrigue with a story that explores the fragile borders between memory and amnesia, truth and lies.

In the first scene, the protagonist wakes up in an abandoned factory next to the corpse of an unknown man and a bloody stone. When he flees, he decides to try to reconstruct the events himself. However, he has a problem: he barely remembers anything that happened in the last forty-eight hours. And what little he does know, it's better not to tell anyone.

Thus begins this thriller that transports us to a coastal town in the Basque Country, amidst winding roads on the edge of cliffs and houses with walls cracked by stormy nights: a small community where, only apparently, no one has secrets from anyone.
