Description
"Héctor Perazzo, ex inspector de la Policía Federal Argentina afincado en Turín, es un detective privado que sobrevive gracias a trabajos rutinarios: cornudos, maridos infieles, colegiales que derrochan más de lo que deben... Pero cuando la peruana doña Pilar le pide que investigue la desaparición de su hija Linda, una veinteañera que se esfumó en el vacío de una vida aparentemente sin sombras, el escenario cambia por completo. Héctor sondea los ambientes marginales del Turín multiétnico, entrando y saliendo de la zona gris que en toda metrópolis desdibuja los límites entre legalidad e ilegalidad. Y es así como la búsqueda de la joven sudamericana revela un lado oscuro imprevisto. La investigación trazará los contornos de una extraña y terrible realidad que llevará a Héctor a las montañas de Saluzzo, tras las huellas de un gran pintor renacentista. Giorgio Ballario, uno de los autores más celebrados de la reciente novela negra italiana, hace gala aquí de su habitual maestría para conducir al lector a través de un laberinto tan absorbente como inquietante. A caballo entre la pluma de Raymond Chandler y la de Paolo Conte, Perazzo es un personaje memorable, irónico y fatalista, cínico y nostálgico (como sólo puede serlo un porteño expatriado), misógino pero seductor. Imposible no quedar fascinado por el ritmo de su investigación: la irresistible, indolente inquietud del tango rota por picos de acción y suspense dignos de los grandes autores americanos. Y será cierto que Turín no es Buenos Aires, pero, página tras página, el lector descubrirá que es la ciudad ideal para albergar un gran noir contemporáneo."(--from back cover)
Description
"Héctor Perazzo, a former inspector of the Argentine Federal Police who lives in Turin, is a private detective who survives thanks to routine jobs: cuckolds, unfaithful husbands, schoolboys who waste more than they should... But when the Peruvian Dona Pilar asks him When he investigates the disappearance of his daughter Linda, a twenty-something who vanished into the void of a life apparently without shadows, the scenario changes completely.Héctor probes the marginal environments of multi-ethnic Turin, going in and out of the gray area that in every metropolis blurs the lines between legality and illegality. And this is how the search for the young South American woman reveals an unforeseen dark side. The investigation will trace the contours of a strange and terrible reality that will lead Héctor to the mountains of Saluzzo, following the tracks of a A great Renaissance painter, Giorgio Ballario, one of the most celebrated authors of recent Italian crime novels, here displays his usual mastery to lead the reader through a labyrinth as absorbing as it is disturbing. Halfway between the pen of Raymond Chandler and that of Paolo Conte, Perazzo is a memorable character, ironic and fatalistic, cynical and nostalgic (as only an expatriate Buenos Aires can be), misogynistic but seductive. Impossible not to be fascinated by the rhythm of his research: the irresistible, indolent restlessness of tango broken by peaks of action and suspense worthy of the great American authors. And it may be true that Turin is not Buenos Aires, but, page after page, the reader will discover that it is the ideal city to house a great contemporary noir."(--from back cover)
