Even the Darkest Night by Javier Cercas
A Terra Alta novel. Winner of Spain's biggest literary prize - the Premio Planeta
The portrait of a man who becomes a hero inspite of himself * ABC*
A tense thriller from the first page to the last * Vanguardia. *
Even The Darkest Night is a gem of a book, easily the best I've read this year. A contemporary police procedural with a literary edge. I was rooting for the flawed, but deeply compassionate Melchor Marín from the first page to the last. Highly recommended -- M W Craven
A wonderful novel. I look forward to many more Melchor stories -- A N Wilson * Tablet *
The first in what promises to be an excellent series -- Guardian * Laura Wilson *
Striking -- Barry Forshaw * Financial Times *
Stays in the memory . . . Cercas perfectly captures the fearful mood of a town in rural Catalonia after the crime. He has also come up with an unusual detective -- Joan Smith * Sunday Times *
Cercas plays fast and loose with literary conventions . . . it will be fascinating to see how the character of Marín, a knight in tarnished armour, develops -- Mark Sanderson * The Times *
