“While preparations are well under way for Pamplona Negra, a young, vibrant literary festival of which Bassas is the heart and soul, he has just published Mal trago (Bitter Pill, Alrevés),......

the third instalment of the adventures and mishaps of the policeman Herodoto Corominas in Ofidia. With this novel, Bassas delivers on the promise shown by  Siempre pagan los mismos (The Same People Always End Up Paying): realistic noir, social criticism and well-developed characters. This is a novel in the best Mediterranean tradition.”
