The Night of Losers
(2026)(The sixth book in the Bermejo and Roncero Crime Thriller series)
A novel by Armando Rodera
A mixed police team under extreme pressure in a case that defies all logic. Disturbing crime scenes that challenge the mind and the senses. An investigation pushed to the limit, where every decision can have unexpected consequences.
Milene Oliveira, the young member of Captain Roncero’s UCO team, is sent to Santoña to assist in a joint investigation involving the Civil Guard in Cantabria and the Ertzaintza. The disappearance of two relatives of a prominent Basque businessman sets tensions between the two police forces soaring and forces them to form a joint investigative team, where every decision is made under constant pressure.
Ertzaintza Deputy Detective Koldo Galarza joins the case as part of the local team, and it soon becomes clear that he and Milene have crossed paths before, adding an unexpected twist to an investigation that is already proving difficult. Caught between professional rivalries, political pressure, and intense media scrutiny, the investigators must unravel a mystery that seems to defy all logic.
Francisco Bermejo joins the case as a special adviser to the Ministry of the Interior, determined to smooth tensions within a complicated operation while drawing on his many years of experience as a UDEV Detective. But the investigation takes a darker turn when a series of murders begins to unfold across Spain’s northern coast, each violent crime staged around disturbing and unsettling artistic recreations.
The nature of these scenes immediately catches Pablo Roncero’s attention, but he can only help his protégé from afar, as he is in New York attending an international judicial-police conference. The UCO officer brings his experience with similar crimes to the investigation, offering new perspectives on a case that is far more complicated than it first appears.
The investigation takes unexpected turns, leaving the investigators struggling to make sense of what they are uncovering. Milene finds herself facing a hostile, uncertain environment where, thanks to Galarza’s skill and support, she manages to stay afloat. But the entire operation is thrown into chaos when they finally pull the right thread from a tangled web that is far more complicated than it seems.
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?
The Night of Losers is an intense, gripping police thriller with a tense procedural edge, packed with intrigue and conspiracy, and set against some of the most striking landscapes along Spain’s northern coast. A story where the pursuit of justice, secrets from the past, and the complexities of human nature intertwine in an investigation that will test the intelligence, resilience, and determination of those who stand against evil.
