Benet: Purely Mediterranean

By Joan Pont Galmés

A grieving detective. A sunken paradise. A truth that will shatter the Mediterranean calm.

Toni Benet, a once-celebrated police commissioner, is a ghost adrift. Haunted by the death of his wife, he's surrendered to alcohol, trading his badge for the bottom of a bottle. His life in Mallorca is a wreck, held together only by his two young children and the chaotic presence of his best friend, a junkie named Crazy Pedro. Benet is done with the world, and he's sure the world is done with him.

But the turquoise waters of Formentera are hiding a deadly secret. Nineteen luxury yachts have been mysteriously sunk, culminating in a horrific explosion that claims the life of a ten-year-old boy. The official investigation is stalling, and the powerful insurance company facing financial ruin needs answers-fast. They turn to the one man whose brilliant mind is matched only by his recklessness: Toni Benet.

Pulled into an unofficial, off-the-books investigation, Benet is thrust into the sun-drenched paradise of Formentera, an island where immense wealth collides with radical ideals. Is this the work of a sophisticated mafia, or a new breed of eco-terrorist fighting to reclaim the sea? As Benet navigates a world of grizzled sea dogs, radical divers, and secrets buried deeper than any shipwreck, he is forced to confront his own devastating loss. To find a killer, he must first find himself, before the idyllic Mediterranean currents pull him under for good.

BENET: Purely Mediterranean is a gripping, fast-paced thriller that blends the dark intensity of Mediterranean noir with the raw, emotional journey of a man on the edge. Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly and Jo Nesb .
