The Executioner Hunt

A novel that reads like a journalistic report and carries the flavour of a prophecy.

Teresa, a sharp and fearless agent from Spanish Intelligence, and Pablo, her American CIA counterpart, return in a new standalone thriller where the stakes are global—and personal.

As tensions rise between them, so does the danger. Two elite Russian operatives, Gorki and Nadia, trained to silence dissidents anywhere in the world, have been unleashed with a deadly mission: execute a ruthless plan ordered directly from the Kremlin.

From sun-drenched islands in the Indian Ocean to the shadowy halls of power in Washington, Moscow, and Beijing, Teresa and Pablo must race against time to stop an operation designed to terrify the West and punish betrayal with blood.

With Operation Kazan, winner of the 2022 Premio Primavera, renowned journalist Vicente Vallés revealed himself as a formidable novelist—capable not only of mastering the spy novel, one of the most classic genres, but also of revitalizing it in a literary landscape where it is rarely explored by Spanish-language authors.
