«Hay gente que genera mierda y hay gente que la limpia. Yo pertenezco al segundo grupo. Sin embargo, por un instante de locura, me asomé a lo que significa formar parte del primero. Y me gustó. MatarÃa por experimentarlo de nuevo. Nunca un verbo estuvo mejor utilizado. Las ganas regresan. En ese momento, miro mis manos y me doy cuenta de que lo que estoy fregando es un cuchillo .
Isabel lleva años trabajando como asistenta para distintas casas adineradas de Madrid, aguantando miradas altivas y comentarios desagradables hasta el dÃa que, en un arrebato de rabia -- quién no lo ha vivido alguna vez?-- mata a una de esas mujeres de buen vestir y malos modales. Ese acto tan atroz la hace sentir más especial y viva que nunca, tanto que no piensa parar... La pluma afilada de Carlos Augusto Casas consigue, con esta novela, la que podrÃa ser una de las mejores protagonistas del noir español. Inteligente y explosiva, Amoniaco deja huella en un lector que será incapaz de separarse de estas páginas repletas de odio, realidad y justicia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Some people create crap and others clean it up. I belong to the second category. For one crazy moment, however, I got a look at what it means to be part of the first group. And I liked what I saw. I'd kill to have that again. Never was a verb used more literally. The urge returns, and I look down and see that what I'm holding in my hands is a knife.
Isabel has spent years working as a personal assistant for wealthy families in Madrid. She puts up with the scornful looks and arrogant comments until one day, in a moment of rage - and who hasn't had one of those? - she kills one of her well-dressed, impeccably mannered employers. This terrible act makes her feel more special and alive than ever, so much so that has no plans to stop ... With his trademark cutting prose, Carlos Augusto Casas has written into being one of the most compelling protagonists in Spanish noir novels. Smart and shocking, Ammonia tackles themes of hatred, reality and justice that will linger with readers long after they turn its final page.
