About the book: 2004 / A confused, confusing, but very imaginative and colorful story about the search for a treasure buried by the Moors expelled from Spain in the 16th century, a story in in which there is love, and dark criminality, and low-grade port brothels, and a romantic thirst for adventure. The novel “When the Night Dictates,” rightfully considered the best work of the notorious Spanish writer Montero Glesa (b. 1965), belongs to the genre that the author himself defined as “cosmic folklore” and in which ancient mythology and the avant-garde, detective and adventure prose, harsh realism and bewitching fantasy.
