Halfway between the mystery narrative of Javier Sierra and the miscegenation of the black and mystery genres that cultivates Juan Gomez-Jurado, we find this Riojan writer capable of leading us through disturbing plots that also tend to advance among the darkness of the noir genre but on many occasions in order to pose enigmas capable of awakening that game of ambitions, instincts or unbridled enigmas that end up confronting us with Machiavellian mysteries .

Fast-paced stories set here or there, in different locations around the world for a writer from Logroño whose literary career continues to grow.

And this time, for the book At the mercy of a wild god, Andres Pascual returns home to probe that black genre with touches of suspense, like a Victor of the Tree among Riojan vineyards.

When you visit San Vicente de la Sonsierra and witness his self-flagellation processions, you take back that atavistic impression of a religion transmitted as punishment, pentience, sacrifice and pain. Nothing better than that ancestral touch for Andrés Pascual to insert into that imaginary a novel that delves into the darkness of the buried past, of guilt and silences ...

When Hugo and his son Raúl, an eleven-year-old boy with health problems, return to town to process the collection of an inheritance, they cannot imagine the sinister adventure they are about to enter.

Raúl is the spitting image of his uncle, remembered under that same childhood image, as the poor man ended up facing his tragic destiny. The disappearance of the little boy, twenty years ago, has not completely departed from popular memory. The strangeness of the matter seems to sink into the telluric, as if the earth had swallowed the young man so many years ago.

The appearance of Raúl, his nephew, with his features practically traced, is guessed as a black omen that makes many inhabitants of the town go back to the fateful moment when their uncle disappeared forever.

Physical coincidences only lead us into the force of a gloomy, gloomy destiny, a kind of centripetal force towards fear that ends up moving a plot that has gradually become a disconcerting thriller.
