With half his body paralyzed, Borrasca must navigate between the harshest reality and a world of ancestral legends to solve an enigma that defies logic. A work that promises to keep the reader on edge, combining the tension of the crime genre with the immersive atmosphere of the deepest Galicia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe novel follows the footsteps of Xan Borrasca, a detective whose peculiar physical condition—a paralysis affecting his right side—makes him an unforgettable protagonist. The plot starts with a case that, in appearance, could be just another criminal event, but which soon reveals connections to the folklore and magical beliefs of Galicia. As Borrasca investigates, the reader is drawn into a territory where the boundaries between the real and the supernatural blur. The narrative combines the hardness of the noir genre—with its codes, violence, and corruption—with the mysterious atmosphere of a land of witches, spells, and legends. The detective, physically limited but sharp-minded, must use his wit and knowledge of oral tradition to unravel a mystery that seems woven with threads from another time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe Galician magical tradition and its influence on contemporary reality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe struggle against physical adversity and personal overcoming.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe noir and detective genre in a rural and mythical setting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe duality between reason and superstition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGalician identity as a backdrop for a criminal plot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers looking for a noir novel with a strong personality and an original approach.
