▌ Content warning Drugs, youth violence and street language. Heroin appears as what it was in that Vallecas: something that took people with it.
▌ Where it all begins
Vallecas, 1990. Rai is fifteen, with a hundred pesetas in his pocket and a transistor radio he uses to catch songs on the fly. One January night, grounded and stuck at home, he turns the dial all the way to the end and finds something that shouldn't exist: music that never stops and a girl's voice whispering, at the stroke of midnight, «if you've found us, you're already one of us.»
That pirate radio station will bring together an unrepeatable gang through the longest summer of their lives: arcades, tapes recorded on a rooftop, first kisses at the street fair and a legendary club on the other side of Madrid. They'll learn that the neighbourhood gives you a chosen family… and that everything, in the end, has its price.
The prequel to Ecos de la Noche. (Written in Spanish.)

say so in two lines.
The complete audiobook and the first chapter are free on this very page. I’m not asking for money: I’m asking for a review. For a self-published author a review is worth more than a sale — it’s what makes Amazon show the book to someone who doesn’t know me.
Give it whatever rating you think it deserves. Honestly: one sincere three-star review helps more than ten five-star ones nobody believes.

What people usually ask
What is Ecos de la Noche 1990 about?
