A return to the crime genre by Carme Riera, winner of Spain’s National Literature Prize and member of the Royal Spanish Academy

After Natura quasi morta (Almost Still Life), Carme Riera is back with another crime novel. This thriller combines all the key elements of the genre with the author’s characteristic mastery, irony and social criticism.

Built around suicide, which Camus considered the only truly serious philosophical problem, Clara Usón has written a novel based on her own history, full of humour, philosophy, and devastating revelations. Clara Usón explores Sandra Mozarowski’s turbulent career as an actress in Spanish nude films in the 70s, and draws parallels with her own life. The actress died at the age of 18 after throwing herself off the balcony of her home, although rumour has it she was murdered by Spain’s intelligence services ...

An exploration of the limits of Evil and our individual and collective capacity to build perfect stories where life is made of darning and cracks.

Albert Lovain, 95, millionaire and Belgian philanthropist established in Mallorca, is preparing to say goodbye to life with a great family encounter. A news arrival from London, however, opens a crack (that means the 'crui' of the title) and ends up revealing its Nazi past. The tourist boom, the Francoist elites, the black holes of international finance, the mysteries of the human soul and the darkest shadows of European history are some of the main themes of the work.

“Emotions are what rules us, the most important element of our brain"

Dr Jordi Montero wanted to put everything he’d learned about pain in his long career as a neurologist down in black and white. The result is a fascinating book. With his down-to-earth, sometimes even irreverent style, Montero gives us permission to complain to our heart’s content. In exchange, he offers us something many doctors seem to have forgotten. He looks into our eyes as he listens to us, and once he understands what’s happening, he warmly explains the causes of our illness and all of its implications.

A posthumous book evoking the lyricism of Antonio Sarabia’s best literature

Hilario Godínez does not have God’s forgiveness. He tells himself this again and again. And it’s because he’s a loser, an idealist who chose to study letters out of a weak and unjustified literary vocation. He now writes the sports column for a newspaper in a northern Mexican town, El Sol de Hoy, and can look forward to an unstimulating professional future. His love life is no more satisfying. Shortly before his fortieth birthday, his most stable relationship is with a stranger who’s been writing him love letters for fifteen years...

A gripping noir novel set in the cesspits of the Francoist police force.

1938. Dimas Prado, a young and ambitious Francoist, takes over the investigation of the double murder of a teenage prostitute and a madam in a house in Burgos. His plans do not involve catching the killer, a celebrated general on the Nationalist side, but to erase every trace of the crime, clues, and witnesses. 1946. Of that crime, buried like so many other outrages after the war, there is still one final loose end...

The definitive selection of the best stories by Juan Marsé, featuring unpublished material.
