Para morir en la orilla

That a boat arrives on the Canary Islands is not, unfortunately, an unusual event. But, when a cayuco is shipwrecked on the beach of Maspalomas with more passengers than those who embarked, everything breaks down. And the smell of two corpses permeates everything. Two limp, immobile bodies that are going to give meaning to this novel. Under the suffocating and sticky heat, Detective Ricardo Blanco faces one of his most painful cases. In it, he will risk not only his life but that of those whom he loves the most. Under a seemingly simple plot, In To Die on the Shore hides a dark history of human trafficking, prostitution and police violence that maintains the intrigue with the resources that have made José Luis Correa one of the most genuine voices on the current literary scene: a dizzying pace, a sly vision of the world and a poetic language that open an original and very suggestive space in the usual world of the crime novel. And the island of Gran Canaria as a backdrop.
