Some cities remember what happened inside their walls. In Valencia's old quarter, Mara Solis can hear them.
A former writer newly arrived in El Carmen, Mara has spent weeks trying to understand why she feels like she belongs in this medieval neighbourhood - and why her hand, pressed to an old map in the town hall museum, showed her things she cannot explain. The grey cat who came with her apartment watches the walls as though waiting for something to appear. Mara is beginning to think she knows what.
When a historian named Carmen Vidal is found dead at the bottom of a staircase, the police call it an accident. Mara's gift calls it something else entirely.
Because Carmen was researching a woman erased from history in 1608. And the building where Mara now wakes up every morning is the building where that woman died.
A cozy paranormal mystery set in the hidden courtyards and candlelit streets of Valencia's El Carmen.
Perfect for fans of Juliet Blackwell, Nancy Atherton, and Charlaine Harris.
