Blood Beneath Barcelona

Blood Beneath Barcelona 

Karen S Ramos

Suspense novelist Carlos Rivas has built a career chasing real crimes for inspiration, but nothing prepares him for the story that finds him live on the morning news: a body in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, gunfire erupting mid-broadcast, and a scene that feels far more staged than the police are willing to admit. His publisher wants a book. Carlos wants the truth. He has no idea how much it will cost him to find it.

What starts as research quickly pulls Carlos into the orbit of a mafia organization that doesn't tolerate curious outsiders—and when he goes silent, his closest friends Javier and Roxie fly to Barcelona to find him. What they uncover is worse than they feared: hidden clues, a citywide manhunt, a detective who may be the only person they can trust, and a criminal network with the reach to strike anywhere, even inside a hospital surrounded by police.

As the danger closes in and the losses mount, Javier and Roxie are left to finish what Carlos started—unraveling a conspiracy built on greed and blood, and bringing down the woman at the center of it before Barcelona claims anyone else they love.

Blood Beneath Barcelona is a gripping thriller about friendship, courage, and the price of chasing the truth—the gripping series opener that launches the Javier and Roxie mysteries.
