The echo of Blood
(2026)(The fifth book in the Bermejo and Roncero Crime Thriller series)
A novel by Armando Rodera
An unexpected discovery in a centuries-old monastery. A disturbing disappearance in the Ribera del Duero wine region. And an obscure organization controlling the area without anyone noticing its existence.
Aranda de Duero and its surrounding region hide secrets that should never be uncovered. During the restoration works of the imposing Monastery of Santa María de la Vid, a remarkably well-preserved mummy is found wall-up inside a long-forgotten crypt. This bizarre discovery raises more questions than answers, just as the sudden disappearance of a prominent local politician sparks alarm throughout the area.
Lieutenant Pablo Roncero from the UCO (Central Operational Unit) arrives with his new team, Corporal Andrade and Officer Oliveira, to spearhead the search for Marcos Berzosa, the frontrunner in the upcoming municipal elections. Together, they must navigate a labyrinth of hidden interests in an ancestral land where power and silence have learned to coexist, and where old grudges still dictate the fate of its inhabitants.
Meanwhile, investigative journalist Miriam Monfort lands in the region following a lead for a story that could trigger a massive scandal. There, she crosses paths with an unexpected partner in her investigation: Detective Bermejo. The veteran policeman, who is vacationing in Ribera del Duero and temporarily away from the Violent Crime Unit (UDEV), finds himself drawn in by circumstances. He decides to lend a hand, never imagining that the secrets they are about to uncover could change everything.
Amidst centennial vineyards, forgotten archives, and hidden passageways, the chilling presence of a shadow conspiracy looms large: The Guild has never stopped pulling the strings, and no one knows who to trust.
Dive into a gripping saga of suspense, intrigue, and action set in Spain that will put your instincts to the test.
Shocking crimes, unrelenting investigations, and lurking danger on every page. Do you dare to discover the truth?Caught between a past demanding justice and a present fraught with threats, the investigators will discover that some truths are more dangerous than they ever imagined.
The Echo of Blood might just become a cry that will never stop echoing through the province of Burgos, giving a voice to the legacy of the innocent.
