Vanished Hands

"Wilson builds a many-layered portrait of survivors and perpetrators, each consumed by rage, guilt, or depression." -- The Boston Globe In an exclusive suburb of Seville, Rafael Vega lies dead on the kitchen floor and his wife has been suffocated under her own pillow. It appears to be a suicide pact, but Inspector Jefe Javier FalcÓn has his doubts. In the brutal summer heat FalcÓn starts to untangle the mystery of Rafael Vega when he receives threats from the Russian mafia who have begun operating in the city. Within days two further suicides follow - one of them a senior policeman - and a forest fire rages through the hills above Seville, obliterating all in its path. FalcÓn must now sweat out the truth, revealing that all these events are connected and that there is one more secret in the black heart of Vega's life.
