When you are searching for the truth, you are running the risk of finding it. Do you know who is watching you from the other side of the wall?

An apartment house in the residential district in Barcelona makes the news when a woman dies in the very moment when her partner appears on the list of passengers of the fateful Germanwings flight, which crashed in the l’Estrop Massif in the French Alps on the 24th of March 2015.

Isabel Morgado is a police officer on leave for a traumatic experience she went through six months earlier but persuaded by inspector Joel Sanz she joins the murky intricate investigation. It will drive her into an obsession when she learns the life story and the secrets of Sara Mendieta, the owner of the apartment house. The obsession, from which there will be no way out…

The past and the present are linked together through the voices of the protagonists often deceived by their own phantoms, to give us a horrific, tension-ridden story with an unforeseeable denouement where nothing and nobody are what they seem to be.


Quien mueve los hilos is a thriller which confronts the reader with harsh reality, not frequent but real. Two women, both burdened with a sordid past take on key roles in the plot that the reader will not want to end.
