Blind hook, by Antonio Flórez Lagez

For the layman it seems as if we see the seaports of so many places as a duty free for large drug shipments. Much of legend and some reality. That is, the equivalent of the percentage of seizures over the total arrivals that finally circulate. Because yes, drugs eventually arrive either thanks to the blind hook or some other system not even suspected by the police ... A great example of narco-literature with that point of disturbing realism that ends up becoming black gender authentic.

The Port is one of the most dangerous places on the planet. And it's right next door, in any European seaside city. Just by walking through access control, you leave the orderly life of the first world and enter a wild independent state, a hostile territory ruled by its own law. To survive in it it is necessary to know it. And respect it.

In the port, el Gallego, a seasoned customs officer, makes and breaks at will. Managing the strings from a discreet background, he keeps the different mafias at bay and takes advantage of the dozens of illegal operations that take place daily. Nothing happens in the Port without first passing through their hands or, if not, without someone paying the consequences for it. The Port even has its own police station. There, the overworked Inspector García, who knows every mess by heart, and his still inexperienced colleague, Santamaría, work there.

When the daughter of a gyrfalcon appears murdered in the Port, thus putting the spotlight on that dark epicenter of corruption, the pair of investigators take charge of a case that, over the course of a week, will plunge them fully into the bowels of the Puerto, a violent universe that completely escapes its authority; The excellent and truthful setting of Gancho ciego, an authentic, dynamic and visual novel, outlines Antonio Flo; rez Lage as one of the most promising figures of the noir genre in Spanish.
