La estrategia del pequinés

Junior owes money to the Turk. And owe money to the Turk is dangerous. To get the money to pay him, he comes up with the brilliant idea of robbing Larry's chalet, who happens to be, precisely, the Turco's collector in Gran Canaria. But, since he fears being recognized, he will entrust the matter to Rubio, who, in turn, will subcontract Tito el Palmera, a long-term unemployed, and Cora, a rundown escort. Although none of them is having a good time, all of them will end up proving that things can always get worse. In this very black novel there are no peculiar defenders of the law or shrewd investigators or highly intelligent assassins with artistic taste. There is no crime to be solved, only crimes to be committed. The intrigue does not consist in knowing who the murderer is, but in guessing who will be the next to kill it. After all, it is inhabited only by human beings trying to get ahead. Even if it's a clean host. A decade after its appearance, The Pekingese Strategy continues to win readers year after year. Alrevés celebrates it with this special edition, revised and extended, and which includes "Solo Carlos", an unpublished story that brings the reader closer to the past of one of its protagonists.
