Synopsis "En Plena Noche / In the Middle of the Night (in Spanish)"

Un grupo de rock. Un concierto. Una chica desaparecida.Han pasado más de veinte años, pero hay noches que nunca terminan. Tras el éxito de El mentiroso, Mikel Santiago regresa con un nuevo thriller ambientado en Illumbe, el pueblo con más misterios y secretos del País Vasco. Puede una noche marcar el destino de todos los que la vivieron? Han pasado más de veinte años desde que Diego Letamendia, estrella del rock en declive, actuó por última vez en su pueblo natal, Illumbe. Esa fue la noche del final de su banda y su grupo de amigos, y también la de la desaparición de Lorea, su novia. La policía nunca logró esclarecer lo ocurrido con la chica, que fue vista saliendo a toda prisa de la sala de conciertos, como si huyera de algo o de alguien. Después de aquello, Diego emprendió una carrera de éxitos en solitario y jamás regresó al pueblo. Cuando uno de los miembros de la banda muere en un extraño incendio, Diego decide volver a Illumbe. Han pasado muchos años y el reencuentro con los antiguos amigos es difícil: ninguno de ellos sigue siendo la persona que fue. Mientras, crece la sospecha de que el incendio no fue accidental. Es posible que todo esté relacionado y que, tanto tiempo después, Diego pueda encontrar nuevas pistas sobre lo que pasó con Lorea? Mikel Santiago vuelve a ambientar en el pueblo imaginario del País Vasco, donde ya transcurría su anterior novela, El mentiroso, esta historia marcada por un pasado que podría tener terribles consecuencias en el presente. Este thriller magistral nos envuelve en la nostalgia de los años noventa al tiempo que vamos desenredando el misterio de aquella noche que todos luchan por olvidar. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A rockband. A concert. A missing girl. It has been over twenty years, but some nights never end. After The Liar'ssuccess, Mikel Santiago returns with a new thriller set in Illumbe, the most mysterious and secretive town in the Basque region. Can one night mark the fate of everyone who lived it? It's been more than twenty years since Diego Letamendia, now fading rockstar, performed in his hometown, Illumbe, for the last time. That was the night his band split up and he parted from his friends, but it was also the night Lorea, his girlfriend, disappeared. The police were never able to clarify what happened to her, that she was seen leaving the concert hall in a hurry, as if she was running from something or someone. Afterthat, Diego launched a single career and never returned to Illumbe. When one of the band members dies in a strange fire, Diego decides to go back. Many years have gone by, and meeting his oldest friends again is hard--none of them remain the same. Meanwhile, there is a growing suspicion that the fire was not accidental. Is it possible that everything is connected, and that, after so long, Diego will be able to find new clues about what happened to Lorea? Mikel Santiago sets the stage once again at this fictitious town in the Basque region, where his last novel, The Liar, takes place. It is a story scarred by a past that could have terrible consequences in the present. This masterful thriller surrounds us with nineties nostalgia while we unravel the mystery of one particular night everyone is struggling to forget.

Mikel Santiago was born in Portugalete (Vizcaya) in 1975. From a young age, he showed artistic inclinations, alternating his interest in literature with music, playing guitar in rock bands and balancing his creative vocation with studies in Sociology at the University of Deusto. He lived a decade in Ireland and the Netherlands, experiences that shaped his cosmopolitan vision and narrative style. He currently resides in Bilbao with his family, where he continues to write and play with his band

Mikel Santiago began his literary career by publishing stories and short novels on the internet, managing to position himself on the bestseller lists of platforms like Amazon and Barnes & Noble, in Spain as well as the United States and Latin America. His leap to traditional publishing came in 2014, when he published The Last Night at Tremore Beach, a novel that marked his consecration and was translated into more than 20 languages. Santiago is considered one of the great renovators of the thriller in Spanish, with a narrative that combines mystery, unexpected twists, and an immersive setting, especially in northern Spain scenarios

Ediciones B has published his novels The Last Night at Tremore Beach (2014), The Bad Path (2015), The Strange Summer of Tom Harvey (2017), The Island of the Last Voices (2018), and The Liar (2020). All of them have climbed to the top spots on the bestseller lists in Spain, have been published in about twenty countries, and have equally captivated readers and literary critics. Currently, he is considered one of the best international thriller authors

Throughout his career, he has won awards such as the Atea-Laboral Kutxa Saria Award in 2024, the La Sombra del Ciprés Award in 2016, and the IV Award for the Best National Thriller by Martaentrelibros and Friends in 2024.
