Jokin warns her that it contains secrets capable of destroying lives. That same night, a black SUV runs him over. Before dying, he manages to warn Quintana: <i>\u201cGo back home. Your father.\u201d<\/i> The message forces her to return to Urkizu and face a past she believed to be closed.<b><\/b><\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">At the family home she discovers DVDs with police interrogations from 1999 and notes from her father, Bernardo<b> <\/b>Torres, then a local police officer, questioning the official version that the death was an accident. Meanwhile, at Jokin\u2019s funeral, his sister Edurne confirms that he had been disturbed for months, ever since he found something after a work accident. Quintana concludes that Jokin had found Alba\u2019s diary and that this was the reason for his murder.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">The lead takes her to Soroa Island, where Edwin Rodr\u00edguez, the hostel caretaker, claims that Jokin found a yellow notebook hidden behind some cabinets. On the night of San Juan, when Alba died, someone had forced a window\u2014making Quintana suspect that Alba may have hidden her diary there. Jokin\u2019s cabin is found ransacked, and several of Alba\u2019s former friends \u2014Anita Guirao (Alba\u2019s cousin, now a rowing school director), Oliver Prieto (her ex-boyfriend, now a successful chef), and Luken Arroniz (Alba\u2019s troubled, alcoholic boyfriend in 1999)\u2014admit having received photos of pages from the notebook. Everything confirms that the diary exists\u2014and that Quintana is not the only one looking for it.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">The tension escalates: the press leaks the story, Quintana is chased on the road, and her friend Gurutze Azkargorta, actress and confidante, is stabbed just as she is about to tell her something about her father. Police confirm that the car that killed Jokin was stolen and that someone broke into Bernardo\u2019s house to erase evidence. Call logs show that Quintana\u2019s father secretly traveled to Puerto de Vega to obtain proof. The threat is real and organized: everything revolves around the diary.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">The village priest, Father I\u00f1aki, confirms that Bernardo had uncovered information about an extremely serious crime and was planning to secure definitive evidence. Meanwhile, at Luken\u2019s house, Quintana discovers black envelopes, photo copies, and blackmail drafts: Luken initiated the extortion but wasn\u2019t the mastermind. Suspicion shifts to someone with more power.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">The climax arrives when Quintana and Javi Porta, Urkizu\u2019s municipal police officer and an old youth friend with whom she shares romantic tension, return to Soroa: they are attacked, he is wounded, and she barely escapes by swimming to the Guirao family home\u2014Alba\u2019s relatives. There, Lidia Guirao, Alba\u2019s aunt and local matriarch, reveals her true face: she confesses that her husband Ernesto, the town doctor, abused Alba in 1999, and that since then she has pulled every string to recover the diary and erase evidence, going as far as causing Bernardo\u2019s death, ordering Jokin\u2019s hit-and-run, and hiring a hitman to silence witnesses. What Lidia does not know is that Quintana had already alerted emergency services; the police arrive in time, arrest Lidia, and neutralize the hitman.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">With this, the cover-up network collapses. The judge reopens Alba\u2019s case and, as closure, Quintana receives an envelope sent by her father before he died: Alba\u2019s authentic diary, explaining what happened and detailing each crime committed to silence the truth. <\/span>At last, the truth comes to light.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b><span lang=\"EN-US\">RELEVANT INFORMATION: <\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN-US\">Mikel Santiago is a Basque writer currently considered one of the best international best-selling authors of thrillers, crime novels, and fantasy.
