Waiting for the flood Dolores Redondo

From the humid mists of Baztán to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Small or large storms that seem to bring, among their black clouds, another type of electrical magnetism of evil. The rain is intuited in its dead calm, the great storms are rising like winds that first whisper among frightened birds to finally blow with their usual frenzy. More storms are coming now, exploding with rage in different places.

Similarities with those unstable and unpredictable temperaments of criminals capable of anything. Synergies between scenarios and psyches. An attraction between the telluric and the psychopathic that stands out in Dolores Redondo as a hidden narrative dynamic. As soon as we realize this, his new novel, we will give an account of our opinion...

Between the years 1968 and 1969, the murderer whom the press would baptize as Bible John killed three women in Glasgow. He was never identified and the case is still open today. In this novel, in the early XNUMXs, Scottish police investigator Noah Scott Sherrington manages to reach John Biblia, but a last-minute glitch in his heart prevents him from arresting him. Despite his fragile health, and against medical advice and the refusal of his superiors to continue the pursuit of the serial killer, Noah follows a hunch that will lead him to Bilbao. Just a few days before a real deluge sweeps through the city.

Dolores Redondo She defines herself as "a writer of storms" and with this new novel, based on true events, she takes us to the epicenter of one of the biggest storms of the last century while portraying a time in full political and social ferment. It is a tribute to the culture of work full of nostalgia for a time when the radio was one of the few windows open to the world and, above all, to music. And it is also a song to the camaraderie of the gangs and to the love stories that are born from a hunch.

A dazzling work with characters that take us from the most frightening cruelty to hope in the human being.
