«Las siete iglesias» is the mystery and suspense novel by Miloš Urban, published by Zeta Bolsillo in paperback (400 pages, in Spanish).
Former policeman Kvetoslav Svach, known as K, is summoned by his superiors after a series of murders near Prague’s churches. His passion for history and art lets him see in the crimes a trail that seems to come from the past: a secret hidden for centuries. The novel crosses police investigation and Gothic architecture.

For readers of historical thrillers and crime fiction set in Prague, with a taste for Gothic atmosphere and mysteries with a medieval background.
