After several years living in Paris, Alfredo Gastiasoro returns to Bilbao when he learns that Izarbe has died. His return is meant to be the last homage to the woman he loved, but it will become an investigation of the unsettling circumstances surrounding her death. Alfredo will have to face up to his own past, reliving a love story that coincides with the time when Bilbao went from being an almost rural town to one of the most prosperous cities of the Old World. Magnificently set in the first years of the 20th century, and a blend of crime fiction, historical fiction, a love story and even travel writing, The City of Grey Eyes is, above all, a beautiful story of suspense and nostalgia, of love for a woman and a city.
