SUDDENLY THINK OF ME
Book Summary
A mystery and suspense novel that transports the reader to Sant Renard, a place with multiple lives: a refuge for pilgrims, a hermitage for a miraculous saint, and a meeting point for squatters, fishermen, and mushroom hunters.

Jordi Dausa i Mascort weaves an absorbing plot where the past and the present mingle, inviting the reader to discover what lies behind the appearances of an apparently tranquil setting.
