The discovery of a grotesquely mutilated body of a young man in Sevilla, Spain, sets off an investigation into an apparently psychosexual murder that has disturbing implications for the chief detective and forensic pathologist handling the case. Interwoven with the official search to understand this mysterious death is the victim’s haunting narration of the final days of his life. As tension between the private and public implications of a horrific crime build, the labyrinthine streets of Sevilla seem to vibrate with clues into the elusive nature of longing and of need. A shocking yet subtle detective story of the heart, The Indivisible Heart is the latest novel by one of contemporary fiction’s most daring explorers of the dark recesses of love.
