About this product
Product Information
INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER - WINNER OF SPAIN'S BIGGEST LITERARY PRIZE - The first book in the acclaimed series: Barcelona detective Melchor Marín is sent to the countryside to investigate a horrific double murder. Before long, it becomes clear that nothing about the case is quite as it seems. Melchor, the son of a prostitute, went to prison as a teenager, convicted of working for a Colombian drug cartel. Behind bars, he read a book that changed his life: Les Misérables . Then his mother was murdered. He decided to become a cop. This new case, in Terra Alta, a remote region of rural Catalonia--the murder of a wealthy local man and his wife--will turn Melchor's life upside down yet again. Even the Darkest Night is a thought-provoking, elegantly constructed thriller about justice, revenge, and, above all, the struggles of a righteous man trying to find his place in a corrupt world.

Reviews
"Cercas delivers masterful storytelling here, weaving a compelling drama . . . Moving . . . A winning choice for both literary--and crime-fiction book groups." --Christine Tran, Booklist (starred) U.K. " Even the Darkest Night is the first in what promises to be an excellent series . . . History casts a long shadow over this tale of political and personal loyalties." --Laura Wilson, Guardian "It stays in the memory . . . Cercas perfectly captures the fearful mood of a town in rural Catalonia after the crime." --Joan Smith, The Sunday Times "Striking." --Barry Forshaw, Financial Times "A wonderful novel. I look forward to many more Melchor stories." --A.N. Wilson, The Tablet Spain "Cercas has spun an agile story whose mystery plot grips the reader right from the start and keeps the tension high until the end-game." --Santos Sanz Villanueva, El Cultural "Impeccable . . . Cercas is unafraid to explore his characters' emotions, which, instead of toning down the narrative, deepens its impact." --Dómingo Ródenas de Moya, El Periódico "From beginning to end, this is a tense whodunit." --Lilian Neuman, La Vanguardia France "Could it be that this series is as wide-ranging and addictive as Les Misérables ?" --Ariane Singer, Le Monde "A novel that impresses with its power." --Christian Authier, Le Figaro "Leaves you breathless until the last page." --Gilles Heuré, Télérama "A resounding success . . . Cercas once again proves himself a remarkable storyteller." --Alexandre Fillon, Les Echos "Cercas weaves a formidable story, admirably served by his unparalleled ability to embrace the world through the most intimate details . . . He wonderfully explores and dissects the psychology of each of his characters, from the purest feelings to the deepest darkness." -- Page des Libraires "A fabulous novel . . . Such powerful and luminous writing." --René Frégni, Le Point "Exquisite, perfectly successful." --Olivier Mony, Sudouest Italy "Once again, a masterful lesson on what the novel is and what the novel could be in the course of this troubled century." -- TTL, La Stampa, "The plot that carries Melchor from the jailhouse to his first laurels as a cop is irresistible, a wonderful commingling of scrupulous realism and scandalous invention . . . It's hard not to want to see where life, and Terra Alta, will take him next." --Garth Risk Hallberg, New York Times Book Review "Asks big questions about justice, revenge and whether literature can change lives." -- Los Angeles Times "Javier Cercas has created an almost unique character in the history of contemporary western crime writing . . . One hell of a back story . . . Part-investigative procedural, part-contemporary noir, Even the Darkest Night is at heart a revenge tragedy, a story of multiple betrayals and loyalties with a Cercas-trademark meditation on redemption." -- CrimeReads "Cercas delivers masterful storytelling here, weaving a compelling drama . . . Moving . . . A winning choice for both literary--and crime-fiction book groups." -- Booklist (starred) "Engrossing . . . Suspenseful . . . Fans of literary detective novels ought to take a look." -- Publishers Weekly U.K. " Even the Darkest Night is the first in what promises to be an excellent series . . . History casts a long shadow over this tale of political and personal loyalties." -- Guardian "It stays in the memory . . . Cercas perfectly captures the fearful mood of a town in rural Catalonia after the crime." -- The Sunday Times "Striking." -- Financial Times "A wonderful novel. I look forward to many more Melchor stories." -- The Tablet Spain "Cercas has spun an agile story whose mystery plot grips the reader right from the start and keeps the tension high until the end-game." -- El Cultural "Impeccable . . .

Fast shipping. Great packaging. Item description 3-stars because book is not "EXCELLENT" (pencil writing on pages, sun discoloration of text block head, stains on lower text block fore edge). Seller Comm 1-star because prior to purchasing I contacted the seller on three (3) separate occasions with a question about the HC and received no replays or responses. As noted there is room for improvement but it remains a positive experience.
