In 'El cementerio vacío' (The Empty Cemetery), Ramiro Pinilla immerses us in an intriguing crime novel set in the Basque Country of the post-war period. When the corpse of the young Anari is discovered during a pilgrimage, detective Samuel Esparta finds himself embroiled in an investigation full of suspects and dark secrets. Two children hire him to prove the innocence of an accused young man, leading him to discover a network of suitors and relatives with hidden motives. The plot thickens even more when he crosses paths with the Political-Social police and a local legend about coastal cemeteries that pour their dead into the sea. Can Samuel Esparta solve this mystery before the truth is lost in the depths of the empty cemetery?
