Synopsis
Una ingeniosa vuelta de tuerca a la novela negra clásica. Una detective tan carismática como singular, un crimen enigmático y un escenario que parece haber sido diseñado por Donald Trump configuran la novela policíaca más original y ocurrente de los últimos años. Nueva York, en Colorado, poco tiene que ver con la gran capital que nunca duerme. Más bien es un lugar aburrido, entre montañas donde, por no llegar, no llega ni la wi-fi. Allí ha sido desterrada la teniente de policía Agatha Crispies con la esperanza de que su peculiar manera de manejar los casos policiales no genere más problemas de los necesarios. Pero ¿qué delitos podría haber en un pueblucho polvoriento de la América profunda? «Con suerte... ¡ninguno!» piensan sus superiores.
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.
