Rosa Montero, Olivier Truc

ROSA MONTERO'S RETURN TO THE BLACK NOVEL, WITH THE WINNER OF THE QUAIS DU POLAR PRIZE OLIVIER TRUC It is night and in the port of Barcelona a guard is making his rounds when his German shepherd stops dead to desperately sniff a container. Upon arrival, the police found an unconscious and dehydrated woman inside. She has a gash in her temple, burns on her face and body, and she doesn't remember who she is or what her native language is, but she is alive. While she recovers in the Hospital Clínic, a man tries to murder her. Inspector Anna Ripoll, an expert in trafficking in women, seems to have found her identity and her address: Alicia Garone; 19, rue du Chariot, Lyon. In the French city, inspector Erik Zapori looks for a way to get rid of the investigation to which internal affairs is subjecting him for crimes of corruption and pimping. Nothing better than traveling to Spain to help resolve this case, even though it may be the most complex of your life. Rosa Montero, one of the most beloved and awarded authors in the Spanish language, returns to crime fiction, this time accompanied by Olivier Truc, winner of the Quais du Polar Prize, the most prestigious French award in the detective genre. With shades of the best Jason Bourne, a narrator who often anticipates the events and combining the settings of Lyon and Barcelona, The Stranger has in its favor the excellence in the craft of its creators, who exploit it successfully and without stridency the narrative mechanisms of the genre.

El Periòdic Lacrítica has said about Rosa Montero: There is no better writer in Spanish than Rosa Montero. Juan Gómez Jurado Her tense and direct prose avoids rudeness and pretension. Rosa Montero is my close friend of fiction. Mario Vargas Llosa Rosa Montero handles language like no one else.

Pilar Sanabria, Más de uno (Onda Cero) Rosa Montero is full of talent, and when she engages in paragraph she does not put a stop to her overflowing fantasy. This wonderful and very suggestive writer has a charming adjective and enjoys the act of writing.
