A serial murderer is loose in Figueres.
His modus operandi: to select their victims through internet exchange between readers of popular books via Bookcrossing system and honor killings that appeared in the brilliant work of Manuel Vazquez Montalban.
The charge of the investigation is none other than Sergeant Flores, a sui generis mosso behavior but intuitive and intelligent, a police officer of race.

Today

review touches novels, but ... national and thanks to the Editorial Rock was kind enough to send it to me. I not only liked but I had fun and that in a crime novel of intrigue is welcome. It also has a very attractive argument for readers is that the murderer is leaving clues of its next victims through Bookcrossing, but ... go to parties.

We are in the Alt Empordà, Figueres specifically. There is the Catalan police body to participate in the investigation of this case under the command of Sergeant Flores. As I said, the murderer of this story used to go Bookcrossing leaving clues to his next murder, but it also uses only Vázquez Montalbán's books, a writer who probably all know, if you have not read any of his novels, as in my case. Pepe Carvalho suppose to be his most famous. The victims appear with a rose in her hands and no apparent signs of violence. Do you know his murderer? Do you know each other? Why do not seem to resist? The scenarios where the crimes are committed free tracks Can a murderer really so careful?

As Sergeant Flores know all you have to do with Bookcrossing, take it to the assistance of the poor reader who attended the first book hunting, Daniel Oliu, when caught "Choke" Vazquez Montalban, the last thing I could imagine was that it was going to see involved in a murder case. And is that when you open the book and read

I will strangle a woman in Vila-sacra. He lives with another aunt, but that's not going to kill her. I will leave a fresh flower on the belly of a whore to know that was me. Then I will kill another and then another. Read the newspaper every day. 'll Tell you the next in the same way now, and if you take the books will go after you. Start the game!

at first thought someone had the bad taste to write that in the book, but when heard the news and see that there is a woman who died in those circumstances, begins to feel that may not have been a joke and he presents himself at the police station. Daniel will turn to the police in the "Corso" and assistance not only as far as books are concerned, is very important.

Sergeant Flores has been a character that I loved. Not only has to deal with the resolution of this case, but with a former woman who can not stand the sight of which is more than willing to leave it in the street with his feelings for the place and memories Sonia Mora a former colleague and friend died not long ago. Flores is a brusque, somewhat arrogant, sure, but is very observant, quick on your reasoning, intelligent and a little good "chops" as well. It's ironic at times and have answer for everything and outflows that have made me laugh more than a moment. I think it's a character who goes through many emotions throughout the novel, we see aggressive with his superior, even with his ex, disrespectful to Daniel, tender with Sonia and friendly with those who are closer.

Despite his manner on occasion, or their decisions, he is embraced by the majority of his subordinates, but their relationship with the head of the police is appalling and he is willing to get rid of it at the minimum time possible . To make matters worse, time seems to play against and the emergence of more bodies make the plot more complicated and will accelerate while some characters are changing the role they played interpret.

The truth is that I really liked this story because in addition to developed country, shows how the d Mossos Esquadra perfectly, thanks to deep knowledge of the author, that until 2005 he developed his career as a specialist in criminal investigation in the Police-Autonomous Government d'Esquadra. This brings us to the real way to work in this body, the procedures to follow when investigating a case and also all enjoyed a very fast pace (the whole action of the novel takes place in just five days), playing with the reader near the end, to guess the identity of the murderer. In my case I suspect the middle of the book which became the "bad", but also confess that I changed my mind about those leaves end a few times.

Eduard Pascual, is also the author of the book "Codex 10", setting out different stories, also featuring the Catalan police and many of the characters in this book. Is also very good looking and think it might be a perfect complement to this reading. It's always nice to read the first book in which the characters appear to continue in a more novel.
