El duod?cimo caso del exinspector Mascarell nos lleva a la Barcelona de 1951 y a la Red Odessa. Con el sabor de las mejores novelas polic?acas y una ambientaci?n hist?rica impecable esta historia de acci?n trepidante, te engancha desde la primera p?gina. Mucho m?s que una novela negra. Enero de 1952. Hace trece a?os que acab? la Guerra Civil y Miquel Mascarell conoci? a Patro antes de ser detenido y enviado a trabajar al Valle de los Ca?dos. Ya retirado sigue ayudando a David Fortuny en su agencia de detectives, los problemas no cesan y, una vez m?s, se ver? obligado a intervenir en un caso de lo m?s singular. En un abrir y cerrar de ojos se ver? envuelto en una diab?lica sucesi?n de acontecimientos y se enfrentar? a una de las decisiones m?s trascendentes de su dilatada carrera policial, la de hacer justicia por su cuenta contraviniendo sus principios o quedarse al margen sabiendo que decenas de asesinos pueden seguir libres. «No s?lo es un acierto dentro de la novela policial espa?ola, sino una recreaci?n formidable de unos a?os de los que hay muy poca narrativa, y mucho menos cr?tica social. -IRENE DALMASES, Agencia EFE «Las novelas del exinspector Mascarell son mucho ma's que unas simples novelas polic?acas. Much?simo m?s que eso. -FERNANDO BAETA, El Espa?ol «Ojal? tengamos a Mascarell por mucho tiempo m?s. Es historia viva. -LILIAN NEUMAN, La Vanguardia ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONJanuary 1952. It has been thirteen years since the Civil War ended and since Miquel Mascarell met Patro, he was arrested and sentenced to work in the Valley of the Fallen. Memories flock to the former inspector's mind. But he manages to distract himself by helping David Fortuny in his detective agency, where the problems never seem to stop and, once again, he will be forced to intervene in a most extraordinary case. Miquel witnesses the murder of a man, however he cannot go to the police if he does not want to be involved. Although he already is: another dead body appears and, in the blink of an eye, he will have to face the most complex international plot of his life. In a diabolical succession of events, Miquel must face one of the most important decisions of his long police career, that of doing justice on his behalf, breaking his principles, or staying on the sidelines, knowing that dozens of murderers are still roaming free. "This is not only a success in Spanish crime novels, but a formidable recreation of a few years in which there was very little narrative, and much less social criticism." -IRENE DALMASES, Agencia EFE
