A Spanish best-seller set in Donegal



Writer and musician Mikel Santiago drew on his experiences in Donegal for his debut novel The Last Night At Tremore Beach. Already a best-seller in his native Spain and with the translation rights sold in 12 countries, the book's English-language version will be published in March 2017.

Musician Peter Harper's career and personal life are in trouble. He travels to northwest Ireland and rents a remote cottage on beautiful, windswept Tremore Beach. He thinks he has found a tranquil  refuge in a time of crisis.

His only neighbours for miles around are a retired American couple who sense his difficulties and take him under their wing. But there’s something strange about the pair that he can’t quite figure out.
