Blood Crime

Translated by Martha Tennent and Maruxa Relano - Fiction, Historical Fantasy

It is 1936, and Barcelona burns as the Spanish Civil War takes over. The city is a bloodbath. Yet in all this death, the murders of a Marist monk and a young boy, drained of their blood, are strange enough to catch a police inspector’s attention. His quest for justice is complicated by the politics, dangers, and espionage of daily life in a war zone. Narrated by a vampire who thrives in the havoc of the war, this stunning novel is inspired by the true story of a massacre in the early days of the Spanish Civil War.
