Description
«La autopsia tras la muerte de la niña de diez años Clare Kemplay ha revelado que fue torturada, violada y estrangulada. La policía de West Yorkshire retiene los detalles exactos de las lesiones, pero el inspector jefe George Oldman, en una rueda de prensa ofrecida hoy a primera hora, calificaba la extrema crueldad del asesinato de “difícil de concebir”.» 1974, West Yorkshire, se acerca la Navidad. Eddie Dunford, corresponsal de sucesos del Evening Post, empieza a tener firma en la cabecera del periódico. La desaparición de una niña de diez años –cuyo cadáver aparece en un solar en construcción, con unas alas de cisne cosidas a la espalda– es su primer gran reto profesional. El periodista recuerda antiguos casos sin resolver de niñas desaparecidas y encuentra un vínculo entre los crímenes. Turbios manejos inmobiliarios, concejales sobornados y policías corruptos se interpondrán en su investigación... David Peace, en su serie de cuatro novelas Red Riding (de la que 1974 es la primera), «ha hecho por la región de West Yorkshire lo que Raymond Chandler y James Ellroy hicieron por Los Ángeles» (Yorkshire Post). Una narración vertiginosa, violenta, atroz, en la que se combinan datos históricos e imágenes mentales, presente y recuerdos, realidad y sueño. Un autor que se ha convertido en un nuevo clásico, el más prestigioso de la novela negra de hoy.
