La ronda
Desde que empezó el año, se han descubierto en Madrid los cadáveres de varias personas ejecutadas misteriosamente. Parecen víctimas escogidas al azar, ya que las han hallado en lugares remotos de la capital. Sin embargo, hay dos investigadores pertenecientes a comisarías distintas que están empeñados en seguir, cada uno por su cuenta, las pocas pistas disponibles.
Se trata de la inspectora Dulce O’Rourke, de personalidad explosiva pero insegura en su vida sentimental, y del inspector Juan Luis Seito, en apariencia apocado pero capaz de remover cielo y tierra si destapa un caso importante.
Cuando llegan a la conclusión de que un mercenario de élite está rondando las calles de la ciudad, saltan todas las alarmas. Es alguien con mucha experiencia, acostumbrado a matar impunemente. Algo está pasando. Algo demasiado complicado. Y también demasiado grande. Algo que nadie, en ninguna parte del mundo, ha detectado hasta ahora.
Francisco Bescós traps you in a macabre game that you can't get out of. 𝘓𝘢 𝘙𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘢 is a formidable novel.
𝘓𝘢 𝘙𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘢 is a sweeping journey into the depths of evil. You will no longer walk the ground of your city with the same innocence.
A good example of a modern crime novel, very Madrid and very international. 𝘓𝘢 𝘙𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘢 is as fast-paced as the urban motorway on which it takes place.
In this world there are two types of authors: those who make literature even on the shopping list, and those who don't. Paco Bescós is one of the first.
A very noir novel, with a narrative of a thriller, which is also - and this is not easy nowadays - very original.
What a story! An electrifying thriller that has given me a few heart-stopping days. What a cocktail of emotions. It takes on a strong commitment to offer quality entertainment.
Francisco Bescós has created a novel that reinvents the genre a little, providing it with new ingredients with which to confront the readers and from which he comes out successful and strengthened.
The author manages to make even the most trivial things interesting and the most implausible things are actually a covert springboard to relaunch the suspense to a higher level.
𝘓𝘢 𝘙𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘢 is a crime novel with a plot formed in concentric circles. Once one is completed, a larger one appears. Each move forward is followed by a new mystery. Each discovery leads to a new mystery.
