The Exile by Mark Oldfield
San Sebastian, 1954: Comandante Guzmán, Franco's one-time favourite secret policeman is out of favour and exiled to the Basque country. Guzmán was last here during the war, heading a platoon of bloodthirsty irregulars. He'd rather forget that. But, up in the hills, he'll find he hasn't been forgotten at all. Madrid, 2010: Forensic Investigator Ana María Galindez has been sent to the Basque country, where three skeletons have been found in a sealed cellar. In the debris surrounding them she finds a scimitar, stamped with a name: Capitán Leopoldo Guzmán. Guzmán's name is the key to unlocking Spain's darkest secrets. But, as Galindez will discover, Guzmán's name is also a death sentence.
Superbly told, and with a fine villain at its heart, this is a remarkable first thriller * Daily Mail *
A powerful, hypnotic debut novel filled with the horror of conflict, treachery, and intrigue, it's a must-read * NYJ Books *
We should expect great things from the Vengeance of Memory trilogy * Bookgeeksco.uk *
The story is very well written and the anti-hero is strangely likeable as he sticks rigidly to his principles. The twist at the end suggests that a sequel will follow shortly and it's eagerly anticipated * Bestselling Crime Thrillers *
Clever plotting, fast action and compelling characters in an unusual setting make this thriller very readable * Mystery People *
