Jean-Luc Bannalec is to German black literature what Lorenzo Silva to the Spanish. Both share age and in both cases they are authors whose forays into the black genre are always received with reader joy.

In the case of Jörg Bong, real name of Jean-Luc Bannalec, has managed to build a unique character, Inspector Dupin and win over German readers and readers around the world with novels brimming with the ingenuity necessary to tackle the creation of a detective novel with the dark tints that they mark the sign of the times of this genre.

Now comes to Spain the sixth installment of a saga always recommended to enter a fascinating police setting with classic reminiscences and that always pleasant impression of durability that the sagas give to plots and protagonists.

Inspector Dupin, Parisian but practicing in Concarneau and still seen as a stranger to the locals of a French Brittany with a very own idiosyncrasy, is a kind of shrewd new hero, skilled and accompanied by a great team with which to undo any wrongdoing.

But this time the case will catch him a little wrong ...

Dupín is on a forced vacation in Trégastel, but he knows that the world continues to shelter the most twisted minds capable of anything for evil purposes and interests. Even in that fatuous dedication to rest, Dupin will be approaching little mysteries that do not point at all to some tragic aspect of his idle life. Until the corpse on duty appears to return it to a harsh reality that in part it yearns for ...

Perhaps it is more about Dupin acting as a magnet for evil. An evil that is weaving around his vacation retreat in a hotel with views of the calmer sea in whose chicha calm the warnings of the storm can be sensed.

What appears as a small challenge, a secondary investigation with which to occupy his time on the well-known French coast of Armor, ends up becoming an obscure matter on which Dupin will have to move with leaden feet, since it does not concern him at all in those Holidays.

And the views from the pink granite coast to the sea become darker as the storm finally arrives. And the hotel is acquiring a gloomy air between characters that are becoming more strange, as possessors of unspeakable secrets.

A novel that fuses the wonders of a unique space with that duality that always unfolds over everything that is perfect and that ultimately points to the most perverse of the world of crime.
