All This I Will Give to You

by Dolores Redondo, Michael Meigs (Translator)

Overview

The award-winning, international bestselling page-turner about the secrets and lies of one man that lead another into a treacherous house of strangers…

When novelist Manuel Ortigosa learns that his husband, Álvaro, has been killed in a car crash, it comes as a devastating shock. It won’t be the last. He’s now arrived in Galicia. It’s where Álvaro died. It’s where the case has already been quickly closed as a tragic accident. It’s also where Álvaro hid his secrets.

The man to whom Manuel was married for fifteen years was not the unassuming man he knew.

Álvaro’s trail leads Manuel deep into one of Spain’s most powerful and guarded families. Behind the walls of their forbidding estate, Manuel is nothing but an unwelcome and dangerous intruder. Then he finds two allies: a stubbornly suspicious police lieutenant and Álvaro’s old friend—and private confessor—from seminary school. Together they’re collecting the pieces of Álvaro’s past, his double life, and his mysterious death.

But in the shadows of nobility and privilege, Manuel is about to unravel a web of corruption and deception that could be as fatal a trap for him as it was for the man he loved.

When popular Madrid-based author Manuel Ortigosa, the hero of this powerful mystery from Spanish author Redondo (The Invisible Guardian), finds out that his spouse, Álvaro Muñiz de Dávila, has been killed in a traffic accident in Galicia, he travels to northwestern Spain to get answers. But he soon realizes that the man he loved for 15 years harbored more than a few secrets: first and foremost, that he was a wealthy marquis who was the head of one of Spain’s most distinguished families. After meeting with Álvaro’s tight-lipped family members, Manuel reconsiders his husband’s alleged accidental death. With the help of a recently retired police detective and one of Álvaro’s childhood friends, Manuel begins examining the family’s guarded history—and uncovers unspeakable darkness. With the beautiful Galician countryside as backdrop, Redondo weaves an impressively intricate story line filled with more than a few bombshell plot twists. This door stopper of a novel will leave readers utterly satisfied. Agent: Anna Soler-Pont, Pontas Agency (Spain). (Sept.)
