In every genre there are firms with that band of being different, of escaping from pigeonholes for better or for worse. In the case of alexis ravel the matter is completely malicious and certainly always works for the better.
La black literature and criminal always needs Guys like Ravelo committed to the sleaze of ambitions and broken dreams, with crime from the frustrations of who will never reach Robin Hood, or Rico de Yate, or Dioni. Overflowing with that rabidly sincere humanity that can lead us to unsuspected extremes, once again Ravelo conquers us.
Synopsis
A guy with a bag over his head It is about a guy with a bag over his head, and that guy is Gabriel Sánchez Santana (Gabrielo for friends), a corrupt mayor of the no less corrupt municipality of San Expósito, who has been left handcuffed by two strangers with his head stuck in a bag trash after docking him in his own house.
Without the possibility of freeing himself or asking for help, condemned, except by chance or miracle, to death by suffocation, Gabrielo will dedicate his last moments to trying to find out who the assailants are and if they acted on their own or were following the orders of a third party. In this way, in reviewing a life of selfishness, ambition and disloyalty, he will become the peculiar investigator of his own murder even before its consummation.
This claustrophobic and violent text is, in addition to a powerful and singular crime novel (whose codes it manages and deconstructs), a lucid memory of Spanish political and economic life in recent decades, a tale of lost opportunities and truncated relationships that also functions as an incisive ethical inquiry into justice, loyalty and forgiveness.
