Dolores Redondo, one of Spain’s most popular and bestselling authors, has earned many accolades and legions of global fans for her powerful literary thrillers. Her novel, All This I Will Give to You, a Planeta Prize winner, was published in English in 2018 to great critical acclaim. Her Baztán Trilogy, comprised of The Invisible Guardian, The Legacy of the Bones, and Offering to the Storm, has sold more than 2.5 million copies in Spanish, has been translated into more than 35 languages, and was adapted into a film series available worldwide on Netflix.
Releasing today from Amazon Crossing, Redondo offers a riveting new thriller, The North Face of the Heart, which features an unforgettable and chilling setting—2005 New Orleans at the time of Hurricane Katrina. Her story of the search for a serial killer unfolds amidst the chaos and disorder that immediately followed the hurricane’s path. In New Orleans and the flooded Louisiana swamplands her protagonist faces evil, superstition, secret powers, and a conspiracy all too similar to those of her isolated home village in western Spain.

Fans of the Baztán Trilogy already know Amaia Salazar. The North Face of the Heart, a standalone thriller, is the origin story of the seasoned detective. Here, she’s a young detective working with the FBI to hunt an elusive serial killer dubbed “the Composer.” From New Jersey to Oklahoma to Texas, the Composer’s victims are entire families annihilated in the wake of natural disasters, their bodies posed carefully amid the ruins.
Amaia and FBI Agent Dupree follow his trail to New Orleans and settle down to trap him, even though what’s threatening to be the worst hurricane in the city’s history is imminent. As they track the killer, a troubling call from Amaia’s aunt back home awakens in her the ghosts from her childhood, and memories threaten to overcome her.
Artfully plotted, and elegantly translated by the talented Michael Meigs, The North Face of the Heart delivers a surprising, engrossing, and unforgettable story that is not to be missed.
