Trilogía de Freddie Montgomery

This trilogy brings together, together with The Book of Evidence, two novels by John Banville hitherto unpublished in Spanish. In The Book of Evidence Freddie Montgomery commits two crimes: he steals a valuable painting from a wealthy family friend and murders the housekeeper who witnessed her theft. This unique crime novel, a genre in which Banville and his alter ego Benjamin Black is a renowned teacher, was a finalist for the Booker Prize. Fanstasmas, his funniest novel according to the Sunday Independent, tells the story of an anonymous murderer (Freddie Montgomery?) Who has served his sentence and now lives on an almost uninhabited island with Professor Kreutznaer and a group of eccentric individuals. This eerie calm is disturbed by the arrival of a group of castaways. In Athena, Morrow (name under which Freddie Montgomery may be hiding) finds himself at a crossroads when two people make him head for an empty house in Dublin. One offers you a somewhat dubious job; the other, something similar to love.
