Fifteen Days in Urgain

By Jose Antonio Loidi Bizkarrondo

Now available in English, Jose Antonio Loidi Bizkarrondo's novel was the first traditional detective novel ever published in the Basque language. When the skeleton of a murdered woman is found in the graveyard of the small Basque village of Urgain, the town races to find the murderer in their midst. Armed with a meticulous mind, Detective Garaidi is just the man to discover what secrets lie buried in the community. With the help of the town's chatty innkeeper and the old gravedigger, Garaidi unravels a twisting plot, and discovers that the village's residents have much to hide. Nere Lete's masterful translation of Bizkarrondo delivers a Basque mystery classic to fans of international mystery as they spend fifteen thrilling days in Urgain.
