En Cesar Perez Gellida everything acquires that cinematographic point, that frenetic action that turns its thrillers in unstoppable gusty waves of reading tension.

So each new plot ends up being devoured by readers with the same dizzying pace of its narrative proposals. Even more so in this obvious sequel to "All the best", with its gloomy setting in the middle of a cold war in which the abominable always has a place in underworlds such as espionage.

Our reunion with Viktor Lavrov immediately resumed new vigor, as soon as some chain murders end up adding an important agent of the euphemistic Democratic Germany who, in the decades before the fall of the wall, followed his designs in tune with the socialism of the East .

At first the criminal only seemed to be a homophobe who killed homosexuals with macabre relish. Until the deaths begin to point to mere excuses to cover up some other more political end ...

Under those ambivalent conditions that the scene of a cold war in its last throes facilitates, Viktor moves once again between the criminal and the political.

And every step he takes in an investigation shared with Otto Bauer, the heir hound of the Nazi Kripo, will point to that imminent danger that threatens to overwhelm the researchers' part of life at risk or the geopolitical aspect of the imminent royal war. buried in the icy settings of those days.

The determination of the sexuality of the victims also serves the author to locate us in a not so distant past in which the strict moral imported from the religious to the bowels of the political, spread like a cancer throughout all social space, like a stranger inquisition of the twentieth century.

Nothing better for a psychopath than a unique moral scenario. Where he can cling to redirect what in his opinion deviates from the proper order.

The murderer's animosity towards his victims on the one hand and the ultimate end of his chain of crimes on the other. Viktor and Otto face the difficult mission of putting it all together to end up tracing that winding path into the mind of the criminal. A labyrinth in which, even finding the exit and stopping the insane, anyone can end up losing their reason, or worse their life.
