Description

A murder takes place at a routine meeting of the Communist Party's Central Committee. The lights go out and the secretary general, Fernando Garrido, is found dead. This sets off an investigation by two men: Comisario Fonseca, appointed by the government, and Pepe Carvalho, a private detective hired by the PCE. As they search for answers in a Madrid shaken by crime, Carvalho's personal history emerges as a constant reference point. The novel is a blend of adventure with all the characteristic elements of Carvalho's stories, but it also provides a rigorous political landscape and hints at the uncertainty of Spain's future. Manuel Vázquez Montalbán was a poet, novelist, essayist, and journalist who played a key role in understanding the second half of the 20th century. His work often explored the recovery of memory through social chronicles, and his writing style had a significant impact on narrative transfronterizo.
