?Hilarious, a literary Hellzapoppin.??Matt Thorne
Dickens & Clot Investigations Ltd, a detective agency in a waterlogged Madrid, has a couple of unusual specialities: helping distraught authors in search of characters who?ve quit the page and assumed a life of their own, and taking on Manex Chopeitia, legendary Big Brother of a mighty genetic-engineering company. Carlos Clot?a paunchy, alcoholic private eye ?gumshoes his way around a drug- and drink-sodden metropolis in a personal quest to put both ?real? and ?fictional? people in their place.
Born in Northern Spain in 1963, Rafael Reig studied philosophy and humanities in Madrid and later in New York. He lives in Madrid.
"'The melancholic private-eye Carlos Clot is the new Spanish anti-hero... one of the funniest and most provocative novels of recent years. A crazy novel... short and very sweet' Rosa Mora, El Pais 'Blood in the Saddle is a delirious surprise... a tour-de-force of intelligence that confirms a brilliant, uncommon sense of humour' Pilar Castro, El Mundo
