Biography

Dolores Redondo began studying for her law degree at the University of Deusto, though she did not complete it. She studied gastronomy in San Sebastián, worked in several restaurants, and had her own before devoting herself professionally to literature. She has lived in the comarca of Ribera Navarra in Cintruénigo since 2006.

Redondo began writing literature with short stories and children's stories. In 2009 she published her first novel, Los privilegios del ángel, and in January 2013 she published El guardián invisible, the first volume of the Baztán Trilogy (Spanish: Trilogía del Baztán). The second part, titled Legado en los huesos, followed in November of that year, and it finished in November 2014 with Ofrenda a la tormenta. The trilogy has gone on to sell more than 700,000 copies and has been translated into more than 15 languages.

The German producer Peter Nadermann, responsible for films of the Millennium series of Stieg Larsson, acquired the rights to its film adaptation almost immediately after the publication of the first novel. The film of El guardián invisible, directed by Fernando González Molina, is set to premiere in 2017.

Redondo is the winner of the 2016 Premio Planeta de Novela for the manuscript of Todo esto te daré, which was presented to the contest under the pseudonym Jim Hawkins with the false title Sol de Tebas.
El guardián invisible

The first title of the trilogy begins with the discovery, on the banks of the river Baztán, the naked body of a teenager (Ainhoa Elizasu). 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.
Legado en los huesos
Although the first volume completed the plot of the investigation, the second installment begins with the trial against the stepfather of a young woman, Johana Márquez. Amaia Salazar is called on by the police just after the accused has committed suicide in the bathroom of the courthouse and left a note with a single message: "Tarttalo". Amaia must discover its meaning and at the same time uncover disturbing details of her past.
Ofrenda a la tormenta
The last entry in the trilogy was presented to the public on 25 November 2014.
During the presentation, the author admitted that the idea which inspired the whole story was for readers to understand that "as more magical elements appear, the novel is more real and more current."
Chanchigorri cakes
One of the peculiarities of the novels of Dolores Redondo is the appearance of chanchigorri cakes. The novels have made them better known outside of Navarre, where they are a popular dessert.
