In today\u2019s Basque Country, Tom\u00e1s Garrincha moves among mafias, corrupt businessmen, and relentless police officers, solving crimes where every case threatens to drag him back to the darkest side of his past.<\/span><\/i><\/b>\r\n\r\n<b><i><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">The Tom\u00e1s Garrincha saga is a contemporary noir set entirely in the Basque Country, where organized crime and the region\u2019s murky business dealings intersect with the everyday lives of its people.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">Its protagonist, Tom\u00e1s Garrincha, is a gangster who achieved the impossible: retiring at the top\u2014and staying alive. At forty-one, with a fortune made and the police fully aware of his retirement, he tries to live a discreet life in Olabeaga, overlooking the estuary. He is not seeking redemption, only silence and routine.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">However, his past refuses to let go and pushes him to reinvent himself as a private detective, a profession he practices using unorthodox methods learned on the dark side of the law. Around him orbit key figures such as Ertzaintza inspectors Sara Cohen and Miguel Fabretti, in charge of the official investigations and a constant counterpoint to Garrincha: police officer and retired criminal forced to move on the same board.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">In <b><i>Trapped<\/i><\/b>, the first novel, Garrincha is dragged back into the underworld when Luc\u00eda, the daughter of his former boss, crime lord Gorostiola, is kidnapped in Bilbao. What initially looks like a mob score-settling becomes more complex when it is discovered that the young woman was leading a dangerous double life. As Sara Cohen and Miguel Fabretti tighten the net from the Ertzaintza, Garrincha must rely on his old contacts to navigate local gangs, Genoese drug traffickers, and crossed betrayals. Solving the case is not only a matter of loyalty\u2014it is the only way to protect the peaceful life he has fought so hard to build.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">In <b><i>The Price of Silence<\/i><\/b>, Garrincha must continue protecting Luc\u00eda Gorostiola after her father\u2019s death. Luc\u00eda inherits the family fortune, and with it the temptation to return to illegal business, just as her new life alongside a football star seems to promise a clean future. Everything collapses when a powerful Russian consortium blackmails her: either she ends the relationship, or the criminal secrets of both will be exposed. Trapped between the police, international mafia, and elite football interests, Garrincha and Luc\u00eda fight to survive in a game where silence can be far too costly.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">In <b><i>Suspects<\/i><\/b>, the apparent calm is shattered when Luc\u00eda is about to marry footballer Eduardo Basterra. The celebration is marred by a brutal murder: Ignacio Echevarr\u00eda, businessman and the groom\u2019s uncle, is found riddled with bullets. What appears to be a score-settling over a multimillion-euro debt escalates when someone signing as <i>El Comendador<\/i> claims responsibility and announces further killings. To protect their name and empire, the family hires Garrincha. The investigation uncovers an old betrayal in a Nigerian oil operation and the return of a forgotten partner bent on revenge. Secrets, blackmail, and a deadly countdown follow.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">In <b><i>The Gangster of Olabeaga<\/i><\/b>, Garrincha is officially recruited by French intelligence services to investigate the murder of a kidnapped young woman, daughter of a powerful French industrialist involved in shady dealings with Iran. While Sara Cohen and Miguel Fabretti lead the investigation from the Ertzaintza, Garrincha infiltrates the circle of the main suspect, drug trafficker Julio Arechavaleta. The game is dangerous, and the boundaries between justice, revenge, and raison d\u2019\u00e9tat blur. The novel explores dirty wars between business clans, political corruption, and the moral dilemma of a man who must decide how far he is willing to go.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">In <strong><i>Garrincha and His Beretta<\/i>,<\/strong> an arson attack devastates the Garay family factory in Sestao. All suspicion points to their rival, Boroa Group, and its president, Sabino Goyarrola\u2014but the case takes an unexpected turn when Goyarrola and his lawyer are murdered by professional hitmen. Suddenly, the Garays go from victims to suspects. Garrincha delves into a web of blackmail, infiltration, and media pressure to uncover who is pulling the strings behind an escalation of violence that threatens to destroy everyone involved.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">A dark, urban, contemporary noir saga where each case stands alone but the past never stays buried\u2014and where the Basque Country becomes a character in its own right, as beautiful as it is ruthless.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b><span lang=\"EN-US\">RELEVANT FACTS:<\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN-US\"> Juan Infante is a writer and lawyer from Bilbao specializing in noir fiction. He combines his legal background with a critical <\/span>\u0432\u0437\u0433\u043b\u044f\u0434<span lang=\"EN-US\"> on corruption, power, and crime in the Basque Country. He is the author of the series starring Garrincha, a former gangster turned investigator.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">The Tom\u00e1s Garrincha series has enormous audiovisual potential as a thriller thanks to its cinematic pace.
