Mala gente

The black chronicle is a portrait of society through the events that shake it. Our fears and our passions converge in it, the best and the worst of each one, our greatness and our misery. But why do we feel this universal attraction to know the details of human tragedies? Because they are the pure reflection of a reality that we do not see so far away and, although it makes us feel uncomfortable, deep down we also recognize ourselves in it. As the authors point out in their introduction: «In life and in death there are more questions than answers, more doubts than certainties. And the desire for knowledge of the human being, driven by the survival instinct, leads him to eagerly seek the keys to decipher the spell and to discover, if there are any, the limits of each one of us». Enrique Figueredo and Pere Cullell have brought together some of the most disturbing and disturbing cases in the history of Spanish crime in the successful podcast Dossier negro de La Vanguardia, with more than one million listeners in just over a year. In Mala gente we present the best selection of these crimes, specially written to be read with your heart in a fist.
