In fact, Spanish suspense novels are also like suspense movies, with unique styles, brilliant and evocative memories, which is a tribute to life by suspense art.
Domingo Villar's work is a typical example of this.

Sailor's Death Sample Chapter Sample Reading
"How was last night?" Caldas asked.
"Get by." The old sailor replied. Esteves choked on a mouthful of water.
Caldas smiled slightly.
"They said they didn't get much last night."
"Not a lot." The sailor said, "Of course, there are not many sailors left here, and they are coming
The less. ”
"Indeed," said Caldas, "I regret what happened to your companion. ”
The sailor nodded.
"What a pity. The Golden Retriever is a good boy. ”
"What is your relationship with him?"
"We work together." The sailor replied.
"I already know this, how is your relationship?" Caldas asked again.
"It's ok, it's pretty much the same as everyone else."
Caldas felt the answer from the mouth of this wrinkled, coffee-gulping sailor,
I could only try to pry open his mouth.
"When was the last time you saw Castello?"
"Golden Retriever?" Hermita raised an eyebrow and thought back, "It should be Saturday, at auction."
at the meeting. ”
"You haven't seen him since?"
"Nothing." He replied, "But my wife saw him on the boat sunday morning. ”
"Did your wife see Castro go out fishing on Sunday morning?" Caldas asked.
"Who said he went fishing?"
"Didn't you say your wife saw him on the boat?"
"What's the connection?" Hermita retorted. He lifted his frost-soaked hand and pointed to the protection
Looking at the breakwater in the harbor: "Have you seen those cages?" ”
Caldas and Esteves looked in the direction the sailor was pointing. The other side of the glass window, clearly available
See dozens of pitchers leaning against the wall of the breakwater, stacked on one piece.
"Those are the cages of the Golden Retriever." Hermita replied.
"So Castello didn't go fishing?" The inspector asked in surprise.
"If you went fishing, would you leave your tools on the shore?"
Caldas took a puff of his cigarette, then looked again at the white walls, where piles of pitchers formed
of shadows.
"Then what is he going to do?"
The old sailor did not answer, but only stretched out his arms.
Previously, Caldas had always thought that the deceased was working on the ship when he was caught facing him, but his eyes were blank
The sight cage is not far away, obviously removing this layer of possibility, making this speculation unfounded. he
I can't help but ask myself, why did this man, who was called a golden retriever by his neighbors, go to sea that morning?
"Is there anything unusual about Castello lately?" Caldas asked, thinking the old fisherman again
Will prevaricate and anger Esteves on the side.
Unexpectedly, however, Ermita decided to come out of the labyrinth to explore.
"I think he's a little scared."
"Scared?"
"Yes, scared." He repeated again.
"He told you he was scared?"
"The Golden Retriever doesn't like to talk much."
"So?"
"Something strange happened."
"What are you referring to?"
"Things." The old sailor retracted back into the hole, turned to the waiter, and asked for another cup of coffee.
After Caldas waited for the waiter to bring coffee, he asked:
"What are you talking about?"
"Didn't you talk to the auctioneer?"
"Yes, but he didn't mention anything strange that had happened."
"Didn't he tell you about the shipwreck?"
"You're talking about the boat that Arias and Castello worked on together?"
The sailor nodded softly.
"He told us that the ship sank and there was a dead man, Arias and Castello, who had since parted ways. But it's been happening for a long time, hasn't it? ”
"It's been more than a decade." Hermita confirmed.
"What does this have to do with Castello being scared?" Caldas asked.
"I just told you that something strange happened."
"What?" Caldas asked again.
"Something."
"Can you be more specific?" Caldas asked.
Hermita looked around, and the Fisherman's House was empty. He leaned forward, low
The voice said:
"A lot of people have seen him again."
Esteves, who had been silent, finally couldn't help but say:
"You think that's more specific?"
"Ignore him, Hermita." Caldas said, "Who do they see again, you say?" ”
"Who else?" He looked around again and said, "Captain Sousa." ”
Neither officer had ever heard of the name.
"Who is this Captain Sousa?" Caldas asked.
"Sound softer." Ermita pleaded, then whispered, "It was the shipwreck."
shipowner. ”
"You said someone saw him?" Caldas asked.
Ermita nodded heavily.
"Where did you see it?"
"Several places."
Caldas didn't understand, and there was something strange about seeing this Captain Sousa again.
"Has he left town?" Caldas asked.
"You don't know anything." The sailor muttered to himself, "Captain Sousa drowned in that shipwreck."
He's dead. ”
"Drowned?" Caldas repeated doubtfully.
"Yes. He must have something to settle and want to come back to claim the debt. The old sailor said, "So the Golden Retriever."
I was so scared, so scared that I was going to end my life. ”
Both officers were silent, looking at the sailor's wrinkled face. He kept nodding slightly
head, so that his words appear more solemn.
"You're talking about a ghost, a ghost?" The inspector asked.
As if completing a ritual, Ermita clasped the metal leg with her knuckles, and then
Spit on the ground.
"Knock on the iron." The old sailor muttered.
"What the hell are you doing?" Esteves asked, slamming his feet and jumping up.
"Don't get excited, Esteves." The inspector reassured, "Don't look like someone has cast a demonic eye on you."
Like. ”
"It doesn't matter what kind of demonic eye he is, or what kind of bullshit!" Esteves roared as he roared, one
He found a tissue from the next table, "He spit on my shoe." ”
