Blood of the Angels

Description: In polished, sensual prose, this Spanish thriller transcends the noir genre, taking on issues such as gun control and asking complex questions about the nature of guilt and innocence. When Julian Monasterio puts an old pistol in a bank safety deposit box and it is used to murder a teacher at his daughter's school, the Civil Guard is called in to investigate. The aftermath is part love story and part psychological crime story, with complicated characters and no easy answers.
