The Final Confidence of the Writer Hugo Mendoza

Joaquín Camps has masterfully managed to create a plot full of mystery, crime and love, accompanied by their faithful companion: heartbreak. His diverse characters have a disarming strength, forcing the reader to look beyond appearances and deep into themselves.

A writer without a past found drowned in the sea.
An anonymous manuscript sent to his widow every 3rd of December.
An attractive professor leading the investigation.
An enigmatic woman who will turn his world upside down.
What if nothing is what it seems?

For his subject matter, scope and theme, Joaquín Camps could become the Spanish Stieg Larsson.

The novel contains dark family secrets, usurped identities, successful writers, literature professors, mysterious manuscripts, torture...

The magnificent, suspenseful plot is garnished with a degree of humour that on occasions becomes fine irony and at others sordid realism.

The pace is cinematic and addictive, and the simple style means that the novel can be read in a single sitting.

As in Stieg Larsson’s first novel, readers will find the criminal context surprising: child abuse, a sadly topical subject.

This novel will grip readers of crime literature, thrillers, suspense and adventure and mystery bestsellers.
