La drecera de Caïm

XXX Premi Ferran Canyameres de Novel·la

Mayans, Sílvia

It was in 1978. While the new Constitution was being drafted in Spain, the German Franz Brühler, a solitary ecologist who was trying to make a place for himself in this rural setting, disappeared in Vall-de-Roures. Elíades Bel parked his work as a photographer for a few days to follow in the footsteps of the missing person and write a report that caused a sensation. The investigation, however, turns one hundred and eighty degrees when a mass grave appears a few miles from the village. Are the two facts related? What was Franz Brühler going to do in the county, really? Why does the Civil Guard want to disregard the investigations? In a land of crossroads between Tarragona, Teruel and Castellón, where modernity resists arrival and customs and resentments are passed from parents to children, Sílvia Mayans addresses a case of disappearances and crimes during which we will discover that the skin of the story is very fine and how recent are the wounds caused by a war that took place forty years ago.
