A mysterious murder. Twenty years of mistakes, silence, and half-truths.
As the esteemed detective Perrú nears retirement, an old case from Catalonia shakes the complacency of his luxurious Brussels office: the violent death of a young woman found naked in a backyard. Time has erased evidence and distorted memories, but it hasn't diminished the need to know what really happened. Along with his assistant, Peter, Perrú embarks on an investigation that forces them to delve into the past, dissecting relationships, obsessions, and betrayals within a seemingly harmless group of friends. Every detail matters. Every silence carries weight. Every certainty could be a trap. Between Brussels and Barcelona, Twenty Years of Silence delivers a captivating and elegant detective novel that explores memory, guilt, and the fragility of truth when justice is delayed. It is an homage to the classic investigative method and a scathing critique of the irreversible mistakes of the past.
