The Water Rituals

Description

Kraken is back for the second instalment in the acclaimed White City Trilogy, and this time he investigates a series of ritualistic murders that target expectant parents, only to find that the key to uncovering the killer may be found in his own past.

How do you unmask a killer who's spent years preparing to hunt you down?

Kraken is back for the second instalment in the internationally bestselling White City Trilogy, this time investigating a series of ritualistic murders, only to find that the key to uncovering the killer may be found in his own past.

A pregnant woman has been murdered in a brutal, ritualistic way—burned, hung, and then placed upside down in a Bronze Age cauldron. When Unai "Kraken" Lopez de Ayala discovers the victim is his first love, Ana Belen Liano, memories of their time together come flooding back, and with them reminders of a dark secret long buried. Then the killer strikes again, enacting the same ritual against a second expectant parent.

Kraken knows he must confront his past in order to unmask this fiend. And there's no time to waste, because Deputy Superintendent Diaz de Salvatierra has just found out she's carrying a child. And the father could very well be Kraken himself...
