“Tomorrow in the battle think on me” by Javier Marías
“Published throughout Europe to widespread acclaim, TOMORROW IN THE BATTLE THINK OF ME is a masterfully crafted mystery, a subtle and complex novel of a man trapped by a terrible secret. Marta invites Victor, whom she had met only a few days before, to dinner at her Madrid apartment while her husband is away on business. After Marta's two-year-old son finally falls asleep, the two retreat to the bedroom. As they start to undress, Marta is taken violently ill. Inexplicably, she dies. What is Victor, a stranger in a strange apartment, to do? He removes the tape, with its compromising messages, from the answering machine, puts some breakfast food on the kitchen table for the child, and leaves.”
