What you need to know before your trail
A helicopter arrives at a Santander hospital to transport some injured mountaineers found in a cave in the Picos de Europa. However, during the rescue, the Civil Guard also finds the body of a man holding a newspaper clipping dated 1983, many years before his death.
Meanwhile at the same hospital, the well-known tennis player Nico Romero wakes up from anaesthesia after an operation on his wrist. Terrified, he finds that he cannot move three fingers on his right hand: someone has deliberately severed a nerve in his hand.
The mountains, the caves and the hospital will share their secrets…..

Oh if it’s this part of Spain you would like to explore, then this is it! Mountains, lush vegetation and dramatic cliffs. They all play a very important part in the story unfolding in the Pico Mountains and the location is as much a part of the story as are the characters.
The mountains have a mystique about them – when a man is found in a cave with newspapers dating from way before his death, the mountains seem to be hiding secrets.
