ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An ingenious twist to the classic noir fiction. A charismatic and unique detective, a mysterious crime, and a setting so peculiar that seems to have been planned by Donald Trump make up the most original and witty detective novel of recent years. New York, Colorado, has very little to do with the big apple that never sleeps. It is actually a boring place nestled between mountains where Wi-Fi is not even available. Lieutenant Agatha Crispies has been banished there in the hopes that her peculiar way of handling police cases will not generate more problems than it already has. But what crimes could there be in a dusty little town in deep rural America? Fate is about to lend a hand to that cop that resembles Whitney Houston. Our heroine will have the opportunity to display her unique talents when she must clarify the mysterious appearance of a mutilated body in a bathtub. But the case will soon get more complex and the intuitive Agatha will have to use all her resources as a detective to solve the case before the insensitive and sexist Sheriff McDonald does. With his usual wit, Romain Puertolas offers a impressive detective story that masterfully combines intrigue and humor.
