Atrapado en el recuerdo de Sandrine, sin salida ni futuro, Suso Corbacho no dispone de muchas opciones. A pesar de ser abogado, apenas sobrevive en Ceuta con el dinero que recibe de su padre. Por ello, cuando este le pide que se reúna con Zallas, un hombre de dudosa reputación involucrado en negocios turbios, muy a su pesar no puede negarse. Por otra parte, el Califa, un representante de artistas al que Suso debe tres mil euros, le ordena ir en busca del Pespá, un hombre desesperado, vÃctima de una extorsión relacionada con unas fotos comprometedoras tomadas décadas atrás en el conocido local gaditano Gadir. Inesperadamente, algo terrible sucede antes de que se despidan. Quién podrÃa estar detrás de todo? A cada paso en una búsqueda que tiene por escenarios los lugares más sórdidos de Cádiz, a cada encuentro y a cada muerte, una nueva revelación sorprende a Suso --y con él al lector-- en el camino hacia una verdad para la que quizá no esté preparado. Lleno de giros, inquietante, con un ritmo que no da tregua y un protagonista inolvidable, Gadir es un thriller que refleja una cara oscura de España, la nueva novela de una autora premiada y elogiada por la crÃtica gracias a su «obra sugerente y rompedora (Daniel Arjona, El Cultural). ENGLISH DESCRIPTION AN ORIGINAL AND DISTURBING NOIR NOVEL THAT UNLOCKS SPAIN'S DARK SIDE, BY THE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR PRAISED BY CARLOS ZANÓN AND EDURNE PORTELA.
Cerrada has weaved a shocking and audacious novel... brilliantly able to cause fascination and--why not--insomnia in those who let themselves be awakened by literary courage. --Ricard Ruiz, La Razón
Trapped in Sandrine's memory, at a dead end and hopeless, Suso Corbacho does not have many options. Despite being a lawyer, he barely makes ends meet in Ceuta with the money his father sends him. Therefore, when his father asks him to meet Zallas, a man of dubious reputation involved in shady businesses, much to his regret he cannot refuse. On the other hand, the Caliph, a talent agent to whom Suso owes three thousand euro, orders him to go looking for Pespá, a desperate man, victim of extortion over some compromising photos taken decades back at a well-known Gaditan venue, Gadir. Unexpectedly, something terrible happens before they part ways. Who could be behind it all? At every turn in a quest against the backdrop of Cadiz' most sordid corners, at every encounter, and at every death, a new revelation shocks Suso--and with him the reader--on his path to truth, for which he may not be ready. Disturbing, with a relentless pace, plenty of twists, and an unforgettable protagonist, Gadir is a thriller that reflects Spain's dark side, the latest novel by the award-winning author praised by critics for her suggestive and ground-breaking work (Daniel Arjona, El Cultural.)
