Recenzii


"Jiménez Barca's novel won the Silverio Cañada Prize in 2006 for best debut crime novel in Spanish, and his prose, translated by Rowdon, deftly conveys a world-weary tone, especially as Pablo reflects on his teenage years and on Nora, the girl he and Trendy both loved. Investigator Roche deftly interrogates Pablo's and Trendy's former acquaintances, always keeping one eye on how the past is shaping the present, and the case takes on new urgency as Pablo's own life is threatened. . . Its reflective moments offer eloquence, even in the well-trodden territory of teenage love triangles and coming-of-age tales."—Kirkus Reviews
