The Path of Fire

A domestic noir that pays tribute to the great figures of English romanticism.

L ieutenant Valentina Redondo goes on vacation to Scotland with her partner, Oliver Gordon. Arthur, Oliver’s father, during the renovations of a seventeenth century castle, they find a secret room where are documents that hint that Lord Byron’s lost memoirs may still be intact somewhere within its walls. 

Soon events take an unexpected turn: that very night, a fire breaks out in the castle, and the next day, a corpse appears in the secret room. The Scottish police launch an investigation, and as it progresses, Valentina and Oliver get caught up in it. Following the trail of Byron’s memoirs, they learn that in the middle of the 19th century, Jules Berlioz and Mary MacLeod, a young woman from a well-to-do Scottish family, shared a forbidden love that culminated in a crime which mysteries are unresolved to the present day.
