The master of the Spanish thriller who breaks every boundary

Javier Castillo grew up in Malaga, where he always dreamed about becoming a writer. On his daily 48-minute commute to his job in finance, he used to spend every moment of the train journey writing chapters to what would become his first novel, The Day Sanity Was Lost. Since he self-published that novel, his life has changed dramatically. After his first book was translated into 10 languages and published in more than 63 countries, Javier was signed up by Penguin Random House Spain who have since published six more novels. 
 
The Snow Girl, his fourth novel, has sold more than 2 million copies in Spain and become an international phenomenon. His subsequent novels, The Soul Game and The Crystal Cuckoo, have been instant no. 1 bestsellers, and will both be adapted for the screen by Netflix.

When investigative journalist Miren Triggs is sent a photo of Gina Pebbles – a girl who’s been missing for a decade – she doesn’t know what to think. 
 
Before she has a chance to follow the trail, though, she’s called to investigate a shocking case nearby. A teenage girl has been found crucified in a church in the suburbs. 
 
Desperate for answers, Miren is torn between trying to catch a killer, and find the missing girl. 
 
But could it be possible that these cases are linked? Someone sent Miren that photo. Someone tipped her off to the murder. 
 
But who? And why? And can Miren find the truth, before she becomes the target?
