SIN LÍMITES
El último fenómeno de la novela negra española, traducido a varios idiomas, con más de un millón de lectores y el elogio unánime de la crítica
«Una originalidad que nos somete y nos hace desear más, mucho más, cuando, horrorizados, nos damos cuenta de que estamos ya en la última página.»
JORDI LLOBREGAT, director de Valencia Negra
«Nadie regresa del infierno indemne.»
Es la noche del fin de año chino, empieza el año del cerdo. Chesca, al mando de la Brigada de Análisis de Casos desde hace un año, ha quedado con Ángel Zárate, pero en el último momento este le da plantón. Aun así, ella sale a divertirse, conoce a un hombre y pasa la noche con él. A la mañana siguiente, tres hombres rodean su cama, a la espera de unirse al festín. Y un repulsivo olor a cerdo impregna la estancia.
Después de un día entero sin dar señales, los compañeros de la BAC empiezan a buscar a su compañera. Cuentan con una ayuda inestimable: Elena Blanco, que aunque dejó la policía tras la debacle que supuso el caso de la Red Púrpura, no puede dar la espalda a una amiga. Pronto se darán cuenta de que tras la desaparición de Chesca se esconden secretos inconfesables.
Tras el abrumador éxito de La novia gitana y La Red Púrpura, Carmen Mola regresa en esta tercera entrega de la serie protagonizada por la inspectora Elena Blanco con nuevos e impactantes personajes, y una historia «no apta para lectores sensibles».
La crítica ha dicho...
«El seudónimo es una máscara como cualquier otra y quien se resguarda tras él tiene sus motivos. [...] Hombre o mujer, igual da. La competencia de sus novelas está probada. Y el impacto de no tener rostro, también.»
Antonio Lucas, El Mundo
«La novela negra o muta o se ensimisma. Carmen Mola, la escritora mutante. Lo peor de ella, que no la puedes invitar a un festival.»
Carlos Zanón, director de BCNegra
«Todos caen rendidos (quien la coge no la suelta) ante la fuerza y la intensidad de una historia que no desmerece al mejor noir de Pierre Lemaitre, comparte elementos con Sandrone Dazieri y tiene como protagonista a una (sí, es una mujer) detective de las que hacen época (y series).»
Inés Martín Rodrigo, ABC
«En una España adicta a la novela negra, Carmen Mola regresa a las librerías con un nuevo cóctel de intriga y sangre.»
EFE
«La intriga es anterior a todo, pues ya hay mucha en firmar con pseudónimo y mantener velada la propia identidad. ¿Quién es Carmen Mola? Una autora sin rostro y acaparadora de lectores; tan literaria en sí misma como su Elena Blanco, un personaje ya de trilogía. [...] Amenaza, desaparición y búsqueda, tres estaciones de La Nena, incluso de Carmen Mola. Los mejores misterios son los de las aventuras de verano.»
El Mundo
«Un verdadero descenso a los infiernos para esta brigada, enfrentada a una trama compleja y truculenta en la que no faltarán temas de interés garantizado.»
Pilar Castro, El Cultural
«No deja indiferente a nadie, [...] no da respiro ni un segundo.»
Nereida Domínguez, La Voz de Cádiz
«Una historia muy dura, [...] con escenas salvajes que te atrapa desde la primera página. Carmen Mola tiene un relato que me encanta, no puedes dejar de leer. Me la acabé en tres o cuatro días.»
Imanol Arruti, La Dupla (Onda Vasca)
«Desde la primera página, Carmen Mola, quienquiera que sea, demuestra tener una voz propia, y eso, en el género negro y fuera de él, ya es mucho, quizá la mitad de todo. O más.»
Lorenzo Silva, director de Getafe Negro
