El Ladrón de Rostros / The Face Thief

"In Sandaili, a humble shrine carved into the rock, the mutilated body of a woman has been discovered. She was murdered while practicing an antient fertility rite. Her torso was opened and emptied; her arms placed on both sides of her abdomen in a gesture of surrender. The scene reproduces, with macabre accuracy, the figures of the apostles that Oteiza sculpted on the facade of the sanctuary of Arantzazu. The evidence indicates someone made a copy of her face at the time of her death. A dangerous ritualistic killer has risen, sheltered by the green mountains that have hold Basque myth and legend since days of old. An isolated location, shaped by water that has left scars in the form of majestic gorges and deep caves. Ane Cestero and the Homicide Impact Unit will set on a journey to the depths of the earth, where the darkest piece of the human soul is hidden."--
