Spanish authors discuss literary themes and judicial processes

Writer Nieves Abarca has released ‘Los restos del naufragio’, the latest installment in the ‘SeisDoble’ collection featuring detective Sonia Ruiz. Abarca, who takes over the character from previous authors, set the novel in A Coruña, incorporating local elements such as the Costa da Morte and regional landmarks.

In a separate literary discussion, author Ane Odriozola explores the complexities of the judicial system in her historical thriller, ‘Veredicto’. Set in San Sebastian, the novel examines the dilemmas faced by popular juries and the impact of media pressure on justice. Odriozola draws on research involving prosecutors and law enforcement to depict the weight of responsibility inherent in jury deliberations.
