Domingo Villar in conversation with Juan Cruz

The storyteller presents the third installment of his successful series starring Galician Inspector Leo Caldas. The first two titles, Water Blue Eyes and Death on a Galician Shore catapulted Villar onto the international stage of crime writers. They were translated into 15 languages and reaped a large number of awards. Gerardo Herrero directed the film adaptation of La playa de los ahogados (‘Death on a Galician Shore’). In the latest book in the series, El último barco (‘The Final Boat’), Caldas returns to the setting of the Ría de Vigo with a new case that seems to be complicated from the very onset. A narrative brimming with intellect, incisive sarcasm and fluid prose once again couples with the complicity and empathy of characters that have been crafted by the hand of a master. The writer talks to journalist and writer Juan Cruz.
