Spanish novelist, journalist and essayist (1939–2003), creator of the detective Pepe Carvalho; known for crime novels that blend politics, gastronomy and culture.

Creator of the Pepe Carvalho detective series; novels often mix political memory, culinary detail and urban settings (notably Barcelona and, in some works, Buenos Aires).

A reader review praises Quintetto di Buenos Aires for its dreamlike journey, rich Buenos Aires atmosphere and references to Pavese. The protagonist Pepe Carvalho combines hard-boiled detective traits with passions for cooking and book-burning. The novel mixes noir elements, surreal touches and political memory of Argentina's past. The review highly recommends the chapter "Murderers in the Gourmet Club."

For:Readers of literary crime fiction, fans of Pepe Carvalho, those interested in politically charged noir

 "The lonely man - who has been in prison - returns to prison every time he bites into a piece of bread."
