Siruela 2010

Novel awarded the 2009 Café Gijón Prize.
Rights sold: Italy (Atmosphere Libri)

A “sui generis” noir novel in which two friends, Juan Cáceres and Valle, reunite after several years apart.

Cáceres is a warm-hearted man who lives a traditional life: he runs a pet store in a shopping center, is married, and has children.

A life enviable to Valle, a failed musician, who in the very first sentence of the novel threatens Cáceres, saying he is going to kill him.
