Crim al bancal

A veteran and not very successful journalist and a young and seductive lawyer investigate the mysterious appearance of a charred corpse in an apple orchard in the town of Mascançà. Will it be a sexist crime? A racist and xenophobic attack? Maybe a crime with large doses of political corruption? All this and much more happens in this first incursion by journalist Juan Cal into black and criminal literature in the Catalan language. An intense, fast-paced thriller, full of unexpected twists and believable characters. Journalism and fiction, reality and fantasy, come together to form a recognizable universe for the reader. The author uses all his journalistic experience and all his literary talent to plunge the reader into a sordid plot where political corruption, violence and injustice have their counterpoint in a world of friendship and respect. Lyrical descriptions and horrible underworlds coexist in a story in which the reader will feel trapped from the first paragraph. The rhythm is fast and fast-paced. History does not give rest. It is one of those books that make you enjoy from the first to the last page.
