Author Dolores Redondo (Donostia, 1969) will begin an international tour at the end of the month to present her successful trilogy on Baztan (Destiny), three crime novels that mix police trauma and Basque mythology with the beautiful scenery that is the Navarran valley.  On July 28 she will be in Mexico where the local baztandarra community is anxiously awaiting her. 

Donostia-San Sebastian.   Mystery, crimes and the beautiful surroundings of the Baztan Valley are the ingredients of these three novels with which writer Dolores Redondo makes her debut into the world of literature, along with breaking records. Her career began in 2013 with The Invisible Guardian, followed by, in the same year, with The Legacy of the Bones and culminated in 2014 with Storm Offering taking inspector, Amaia Salazar, to a place in the universe of the black novel.
