When the naked body of a teenage girl is found on the banks of the River Baztán, it is quickly linked to a similar murder one month before. Soon, rumours are flying in the nearby village of Elizondo. Is this the work of a ritualistic killer or is it the basajaun, the ‘invisible guardian’ of Basque mythology? Inspector Amaia Salazar leads the investigation, taking her back to the heart of the Basque country where she was born, and where she hoped never to return. Shrouded in mist and surrounded by impenetrable forests, it is a place of unresolved conflicts and a terrible secret from Amaia’s childhood that will come back to haunt her. Faced with the superstitions of the village, Amaia must fight the demons of her past to confront the reality of a serial killer on the loose. But as she is drawn deeper into the investigation, she feels the presence of something darker lurking in the shadows…

"Part 1 in the Baztan Trilogy (The Legacy of the Bones is Part 2, Offering to the Storm is Part 3) Spanish author, Dolores Redondo Meira (who was born two weeks to the day before me!) wrote this trilogy which were then adapted into screenplays and made into these movies.
4/5*s
Intriguing mystery with a bit of the supernatural that takes place in Navarre, Spain. The initial mystery was solved but there seem to be two (three?) other mysteries to be solved, most likely in the other two movies. I'm sure there will be much more (hopefully) of the supernatural in them. I'm excited to start on the second movie!"
