Dolores Redondo Meira (born 1 February 1969) is a Spanish writer of noir novels, author of the Baztán Trilogy,[1] and winner of the 2016 Premio Planeta de Novela literary prize.

The first title of the trilogy[8] begins with the discovery, on the banks of the river Baztán, the naked body of a teenager (Ainhoa Elizasu) with her black heeled shoes off.

The Policía Foral homicide inspector Amaia Salazar is put in charge of the investigation, which leads her to return to Elizondo, the hometown she always wanted to escape from.

The story moves between two fronts – professional, focused on solving a series of murders, and personal, which in this case becomes as important and surprising as the outcome of the investigation.
