Review
'Scathing satire of Spanish society, hilarious dialogue, all beautifully dressed up as a crime novel"'--Krimi-Couch"'A first novel that's spread like wildfire by word of mouth.'--El Avui 'Teresa Solana is great proof of the vitality of the roman noir in Catalan... A wonderfully ironic hymn to the city of Barcelona.'--Diari de Balears
Product Description
A politician discovers a portrait of his wife in a Paris exhibition that leads him to conclude that she is having an affair with the artist. He hires two inexperienced private detectives - non-identical twins - to investigate but the case turns ugly when she is found poisoned. The sudden twists and turns in plot and dark humour make this satire of Catalan politics a fascinating insight into the life of Barcelona's inhabitants, both by day and night.
