Vacuo Relinquis: Alex Duarte Returns (Crime and Mystery) (Spanish Edition)

ALEX DUARTE, THE JOURNALIST WHO DISCOVERED THE TRUTH ABOUT SILVIA BLANCH'S LAST SUMMER, RETURNS.

The tranquil seaside town of Port de la Selva hides a dreadful secret since Arsenda, a young woman condemned for witchcraft in the 17th century, cast a curse: to take a girl from the town every ten years. Three months after uncovering the mystery surrounding Silvia Blanch's disappearance in Montseny, the controversial journalist Alex Duarte, lacking inspiration for a new novel, decides to retreat from everything and lock herself in a literary retreat in the fishing village of Port de la Selva. Her intention is also to forget the unfinished love story she had with Jan, whose memory haunts her, but she finds herself obsessed with another disappearance, that of Ally Fian, an English girl who went missing a year ago.

During her stay, Alex will meet Luke, a self-proclaimed English writer, whose motivation for staying at the retreat is very different from focusing on his writing. Alex and Luke will uncover a dark secret that some of the town's inhabitants have been diligently protecting for centuries. And, to keep that secret safe, there are those who are willing to do anything.

Who, four hundred years after the curse, continues to take girls who never return?

Lorena Franco brings back journalist Alex Duarte (The Last Summer of Silvia Blanch) in this new thriller packed with mystery, secrets, unexpected reunions, and romance, with a cast of peculiar characters set in a paradisiacal literary retreat, which will captivate the reader until the puzzle's intrigue is resolved from the first to the last page.
