On Wednesday, May 7, will be the presentation of "A worse world," the latest novel by Claudio Cerda in Sociocultural Roque Baños Centre at 20.00 pm in a meeting organized by the Public Library, and Department of Culture.
A worse world, is the story of Roberto Cusac, recycled former police detective, drunk and lonely, who is obsessed by a case that destroyed his career, his marriage and his soul: the disappearance of her 6 year old son, Jaime, who never found.
He has gone over a thousand times and always tracks take you anywhere.
When he was commissioned to look for a missing girl, her injuries seem reopened, but an aura of hope and fuzzy feeling that fate gives you a second chance again enliven his instinct to play one last game of double or nothing.
With this direct language that caresses the loneliness of the protagonists and bare their souls, Claudio Cerda offers a thoughtful story about abandonment and loss, a detective novel that delves fearlessly into the pain and the impossibility of forgetting.
With his first crime novel, The Country of the Blind, Claudio Cerda won in 2012 Novelpol Award for best crime novel of the year.
With this work was also XIII Award finalist Language of Cloth and Silverio Cañada de la Semana Negra de Gijón.
A year later saw the light of a new title, if it is more black than the first hundred years of pardon (Versatile Editions, 2013), a thriller that was a finalist for the 2013 LeeMisterio.com Awards for Best Novel, which was recommended by the Country as one of the best crime novels of 2013 and has just been named one of the finalists of the Novel Prize II Pata Negra (Salamanca, 2014).
Previously, he had published two titles Cerdán fantasy genre (The God of the Mutilated and scars), and in 2012 published in France The chocolate house, a haunting yet unpublished novel in Spanish.
