Novedades del último mes en novela Negra

Cuando las cámaras se encienden, nadie está a salvo. Paula creía haber dejado atrás lo peor, pero el anguloso ático barcelonés donde ahora trabaja respira como una fortaleza digital: cada espejo puede convertirse en un objetivo, cada pitido a las 03:17 es una alarma que escanea sus miedos. Cuando una figura con su misma capucha recorre los pasillos y un cadaver se desploma en el vestibulo, la joven comprende que han clonado algo mas que su agenda: han hackeado su memoria. Perseguida por un multimillonario obsesionado con los "tests de estres" y amparada por una dueña de casa con secretos abrasados, Paula descubre MIRLO, una red de dispositivos capaz de convertir la ansiedad en moneda de inversion. Del Passeig de Gracia a los acantilados de Montjuic, la ciudad se convierte en un tablero: sensores, drones, dobles y expedientes medicos falsificados son las piezas de una partida donde la unica victoria es seguir siendo uno mismo. Si no descifra la llave azul que encierra sus recuerdos antes del proximo "ensayo", Paula engrosara la lista de sirvientas convertidas en fantasmas. Porque en este mundo, entrar es un privilegio... pero salir, una condena.

¿Y si cada reflejo del mármol ocultara un grito? Paula, de 27 años, consigue el empleo soñado: atender a una familia multimillonaria en una villa de la «Milla de Oro» de Marbella. Los pasillos huelen

¿El lujo esconde a veces una trampa... podrás abrir la última cerradura? Paula, contratada como empleada doméstica en un suntuoso ático madrileño, cree haber encontrado el trabajo perfecto: sueldo principesco, vistas de ensueño, rutinas cronometradas al milimetro. Sin embargo, en la primera noche, un grito se desliza bajo una puerta clausurada, un aroma a cloroformo serpentea por los pasillos y un ascensor averiado susurra: No me dejes sola con el. A las 23:15, la casa se quiebra. Camaras emergen detras de los cuadros, una diminuta llave grabada con "D2" aparece y desaparece, y la foto de una ex empleada que jamas cobro su ultimo salario vuelve a la luz, manchada de sangre. Cada minuto acerca a Paula al secreto que se oculta tras la puerta azul del Cuarto Azul: un centro de control donde se vigila, se medica y se remodela la vida de los demas. Si Paula no descifra el contrato que la ata a este lugar antes de que las persianas electricas se cierren, la casa consumara su crimen: convertir a las sirvientas en fantasmas. Entrad, pero recordad: en este apartamento, entrar es un privilegio; salir, una condena.

Recién acabadas las olimpiadas de Barcelona, todavía en agosto de 1992, el capitán Garrido de la Guardia Civil se halla en Meco disfrutando de un merecido descanso tras el intenso despliegue policial en dicho certamen deportivo, pero sus vacaciones se ven interrumpidas por la aparicion del cadaver del armador naval Francisco Montero, desnudo y cosido a cuchilladas , siendo asi que el hilo conductor de toda la historia es una joven misteriosa prostituta ecuatoguineana , lectora voraz de William Faulkner , cuyas obras descatalogadas persigue con ahinco en las librerias de viejo de Madrid.Lo interesante de esta novela es que no busca crear la expectacion de una intriga mas o menos bien construida, segun los canones habituales del genero negro, puesto que desde el mismisimo prologo el lector conoce quien ha matado al empresario. Quico, para los amigos, y casi casi que las causas del crimen. Por ello, esa fantasia es muy cara, rey mas que una investigacion policial en sentido estricto, que tambien la hay, lo que pretende es desarrollar una seria de situaciones sorprendentes y analizar el caracter de los diferentes personajes, enclavados todos ellos dentro de unas coordenadas geograficas inauditas.
