City of Good Death

In Girona’s myth-steeped streets, a killer is making a statement – one body at a time.

A loan shark, a corrupt priest, a gang of violent thugs – all hate figures and all found dead, posed in eerie, inexplicable ways. The only clue? Cryptic effigies left on a statue, hinting at the next victim.

Elisenda Domènech, head of Girona’s Serious Crime Unit, is convinced the murderer is drawing on the city’s historical legends to choose their victims. But with resistance from her own team and growing public sympathy for the vigilante, she’s racing against time to decipher the killer’s message.

Dark, gripping, and atmospheric, ‘City of Good Death’ is the start of a must-read crime series for fans of Elly Griffiths and Ragnar Jónasson.

Chris Lloyd is the award-winning author of the 'Occupation' series, featuring Eddie Giral, a morally complex French police detective walking a tightrope between resistance and collaboration in Occupied Paris.
