Obsession: The Dark Side of Love

Elisabeth Gilmore

A small medieval town is suddenly thrown into a murder case overnight.
Teresa Ortega, a cheerful, observant, and curious journalist for a regional newspaper, will be the one to discover the crime. Because of her knowledge of the area, she'll be asked to help the Homicide agents unmask the culprit.
Among those agents is Tomás Berasategui, a relentless, strict inspector—also attractive and overly protective. Two opposite poles who clash from the first minute, who repel each other like oil and water.
Two people united by an obsession: that of a sick mind stalking their streets during one of the most important fairs of the year, attended by thousands of tourists from the region.
That shadow follows them, and the investigation grows more complicated.

But they're not alone, though they don't know it.
They say nothing increases desire more than the forbidden, nor magnifies obsession more than being ignored.
But what is an obsession? If not the root of all passions, including that of love. Or... that of its dark side.
Is that what's happening to them? Perhaps to the killer or killers?
