Water rituals

Author's name: Eva Garcia-Sainz

When the past knocks on your door, it will not make a gentle request... it will enter with a bloody ritual.

In the stunning second installment of the White City trilogy, Inspector Kraken returns to face his most intimate and fascinating investigation yet. A gruesome murder awaits him: a pregnant woman burned alive, hung upside down by her feet, and then placed inside an ancient Bronze Age urn. But the real shock comes when he discovers the victim's identity... it's Anna Belén Llano, his first love.
The serial killer doesn't stop at one ritual. The same crime is repeated with a second, pregnant victim, revealing a terrifying ritual pattern drawn from ancient sacrificial myths. Each crime pushes Kraken deeper into the labyrinth of his past, toward painful secrets he hoped would remain buried forever.
But the race is now not just for justice, it's for survival. When Deputy Inspector Díaz de Salvatierra—his closest partner—discovers she's pregnant, the investigation becomes a personal and urgent mission. The killer preys on pregnant women, and the keys to his mystery lie in the ancient history of the Spanish land itself.
