Books like Ruido de cañerías by Luis Gutiérrez Maluenda


RESUMEN: Atila, el detective marginal del Raval de Barcelona, está pasando una mala racha. Tiene problemas con la bebida y con Valentina, lo más parecido a una novia que tiene; una asociación de ayuda al inmigrante tiene grandes proyectos; el presidente del Fútbol Club Barcelona aspira a la honorabilidad más absoluta por caminos azarosos; y un crimen es cometido de naturaleza tan machista que hasta desconcierta al mismo Atila, quien no se puede decir que sea feminista. Todos estos hechos oscuros y más se unen para crear una emocionante novela detectivesca. Attila, the down-on-his-luck detective from Barcelona's Raval neighborhood, is going through a rough patch. He has a drinking problem and issues with Valentina, the closest thing he has to a girlfriend; an organization that helps immigrants has big plans; the president of the Futbol Club Barcelona seeks honor through risky means; and a crime is committed that is so sexist it disconcerts even Attila himself, hardly a feminist. All of these dark goings-on and more come together to create a thrilling detective novel.
