Domingo Villar


Domingo Villar is a Spanish crime writer. He was born and raised in Vigo, Galicia and now lives in Madrid. He has published two acclaimed bestsellers featuring Inspector Leo Caldas, a dyed-in-the-wool Galician detective, and Rafael Estévez, his down to earth assistant from Zaragoza who finds it difficult to cope with the Galician sense of irony. Both novels were originally published in Galician before being translated into Spanish by the author himself. They have also been translated into several other European languages.
