Writing with four hands should be an interesting experience to say the least. Recurring is a sign that the matter, in addition to going well on a technical level, was carried out wonderfully by the owners of the two pairs of hands. I am referring, of course, to Jordi Basté and Marc Artigau. Each of them will know what their mission is and how the final compaction of the work is achieved.
The point is that after «A man falls«, That first novel in common that worked wonderfully as a crime novel of our days, we now return to this story centered on the mythical Barcelona market of La Boquería, a splendid nineteenth-century survivor of the city that serves to maintain a special charm and also , from now on to address the literary world with a fascinating novel.
For the occasion, the authors recover Albert Martínez, who points to a detective with many cases pending to reach the imaginary of their authors and who supposes a breath of fresh air, a curiously ventilated current from the origins of the detective novel that had not yet been reached. derived in the saturated black genre.
A bloody crime transforms that colorful and bustling space of La Boquería, also known as the San José market, into a macabre scenario that will lead Albert to a passionate case about envy, frustration, talent and crude imitation.
Because from La Boquería we will go to the Romea theater. A metaphorical trail of blood guides us through the few more than a hundred meters that are distant from one place to another.
Life, like the theater, is a tragicomedy. And it will be up to Albert to discover who is masking the final crime, the one with which a bad actor might want to change the script and end up exiting the forum.
