La Nena / 3
by Carmen Mola
Description
THE GIRL /
It is the end of the Chinese year and the Year of the Pig begins. Chesca has a date with Zarate but , in the very last moment, he stands her up. In spite of that she goes out to have a good time. She meets a man and spends the night with him. In the morning, she can see three men standing around the bed and waiting to get a share in the feast. And she can smell a disgusting odour of pigs.
Not having heard from her for the whole day, her colleagues from BAC begin to look for Chesca. They will get invaluable help from Elena Blanco, who, although not a member of the police force any longer, will not turn her back on her friend.

Reviews
“A real descent into hell for this group of investigators faced
with a complicated, gruesome and action-packed plot.“
Pilar Castro, El Cultural de El Mundo
"In Spain addicted to the noir genre, Carmen Mola returns to the
bookstores with a new cocktail of intrigue and blood. […] Set
between city of Madrid and the countryside, La Nena, written in a
direct, plain language, contains numerous scenes from the rural
areas, dominated by inhumanely savage men".
EFE, The Objective
"The pseudonym is a masque like any other and whoever hides
behind it have their reasons. […] It does not matter whether it is
man or woman. The quality of the novels has been demonstrated.
And also the impact of having no face".
Antoni Lucas, El Mundo
"The major editorial phenomenon in the Spanish noir genre, Carmen
Mola continues disguising her identity and makes sure the events
in the new book are shrouded in mystery.".
Manu Piñón, Mujer Hoy
