The 3 best books by Manuel Ríos San Martín

When an already renowned screenwriter like Manuel Ríos San Martin decides to make scripts and novels compatible, it is assumed that the latter will have that rhythm typical of cinematography. And so it happens when we let ourselves be carried away by its vibrant scenes inhabited by practically tangible characters. Protagonists with that verisimilitude of someone who is used to finding the gesture that carries all the transcendent burden of the moment.

Thus, what began as an unsuspected incursion, back in 2017, is today already a reality of our native literary panorama with its thrillers in tune with the productions of other renowned storytellers such as Javier Castillo o Michael Santiago.

The imprint of evil

There is no better metaphor for that darkness of the depths than the excavations of Atapuerca themselves. Vestiges of primal humanity buried or buried between layers of ground or surpassed the threshold of ancient caves.

That is where the victim of a crime is discovered that begins the reading of the case, immediately linking up with something similar that happened a few kilometers to the north, in Asturias. Whoever was in charge of murdering the young woman, to finally place her among the papier-mâché human representations that adorned the excavations, seems to mean something about primitive human and tribal ritual violence.

Those who tried to connect the dots the first time, unproductively, are asked again to see if this time they are able to link precedents and current tracks. The inspector of the judicial police specializing in crimes, Silvia Gúzman will have to rely again on an old colleague already outside the body: Daniel Velarde.

The will of the judge who decides to unite them points to a better and faster resolution of the case. But things happened between the two of them that jumped from the personal sphere to the case and the final resolution of the homicide. Overcoming those days to end up joining forces will be a challenge. Unless someone else has sought to bring them back together as the most brilliant finishing touch to a malevolent plan.

Where there is darkness

An initiatory journey through the channel of evil. A road novel on the trail of crime to end up discovering that everywhere there are traces of violence, like an aroma that the main murderer of the novel detects as the aroma of hot blood or, precisely, as a trail that he himself takes care of marking as clues to his final act ...

Only a serial killer in Instagram times will make two cops agree: him, a boomers old-fashioned plated; she, a millennial wanting to change the world.

A seventeen-year-old model with a missing navel disappears in Madrid. Inspectors Martínez and Pieldelobo are in charge of the investigation, but they clash from the first moment. He is a chaotic XNUMX-year-old father, tender but scathing and somewhat old-fashioned; she, a combative, intelligent and feminist millennial.

While they travel through Spain mysterious places and apparently quiet temples, two hypotheses arise to unmask a serial killer: either the Russian mafia is behind a luxury prostitution network or there is a religious psychopath who tries to make amends to God himself.

This thriller presents an ironic reflection on intolerance, the dichotomy between sin and beauty, between mercy and punishment, and the relationships between man and woman as two beings destined to understand each other since the beginning of time.
