Un tío con una bolsa en la cabeza

A guy with a bag over his head is about a guy with a bag over his head, and that guy is Gabriel Sánchez Santana -Gabrielo for friends-, a corrupt mayor of the no less corrupt municipality of San Expósito, whom two strangers have left. handcuffed with his head stuck in a garbage bag after robbing him in his own home. Without the possibility of freeing himself or asking for help, condemned, except by chance or miracle, to death by suffocation, Gabrielo will dedicate his last moments to trying to find out who the assailants are and if they acted on their own or were following the orders of a third party. In this way, in reviewing a life of selfishness, ambition and disloyalty, he will become the peculiar investigator of his own murder even before its consummation. This claustrophobic and violent text is, in addition to a powerful and unique crime novel -whose codes it manages and deconstructs-, a lucid memory of Spanish political and economic life in recent decades, a tale of lost opportunities and truncated relationships that also functions as an incisive ethical inquiry into justice, loyalty and forgiveness.
