Overview
«Bescós te atrapa en un juego macabro del que no puedes salir. La Ronda es una novela formidable». -Santiago Díaz
«Uno de los autores más destacados de la novela negra española». -Heraldo de Aragón
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.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
In The Round, award-winning author Francisco Bescós shifts the noir genre to a higher gear with an ambitious crime novel packed with adrenaline and twists.
“Bescós traps you in a macabre game you cannot leave. The Round is a formidable novel.” —Santiago Díaz
“One of the most outstanding authors of Spanish noir fiction.” —Heraldo de Aragón
Since the beginning of the year, the bodies of several people mysteriously executed have been found in Madrid. They seem to be victims chosen at random, since they were found in remote locations around the capital city. However, there are two detectives from different precincts set on following, each on their own, the very few leads that are available.
It is Inspector Dulce O’Rourke, an explosive personality, but insecure in her personal life, and Inspector Juan Luis Seito, apparently timid, but capable of moving heaven and earth to unravel an important case.
Alarm bells set off when they both come to the conclusion that an elite mercenary roams the city streets. He is someone experienced, accustomed to killing with impunity. Something is going on. Something too complicated. And also, too big. Something no one in the world has noticed until now.
