About the Book

Tras el éxito de Mongo Blanco, Carlos Bardem regresa con El asesino inconformista, una novela política de amor, humor y muerte.

Premio Dashiell Hammett de novela negra 2022.

Fortunato es un asesino a sueldo, culto, elegante y discreto. Cuando se le encarga que elimine a una política corrupta, recuerda su infancia y juventud, cómo sintió crecer la violencia dentro y qué hizo para controlarla y usarla, según él, en beneficio propio y de los demás. Pero esta educación sentimental es solo el principio de un viaje que le llevará por los escenarios más oscuros y violentos de nuestra sociedad y le hará replantearse su papel en ella. Una odisea de décadas por Madrid y escenarios como Nueva York, Zanzíbar, Bagdad, Estocolmo o Marruecos. Y es también la historia de un asesino enamorado, la radiografía de una pareja. ¿Estará dispuesto a sacrificar al amor de su vida por seguir sus ideales hasta el final? ¿Será este su último encargo?

Valiéndose de una trabajada prosa llena de ironía e inteligencia, Carlos Bardem realiza el prodigioso retrato de un antihéroe carismático y complejo atrapado en una sociedad dominada por la inmoralidad y la corrupción. Tras el éxito de Mongo Blanco, el autor conjuga la novela negra, la sátira política y la denuncia social en El asesino inconformista, una original historia de amor, humor y muerte.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

After the success of Mongo Blanco, Carlos Bardem returns with The Maverick Assassin, a political novel of love, humor and death.

Awarded in 2022 with the prestigious Dashiell Hammett Prize for noir fiction in Spanish.

Fortunato is a hired assassin, cultured, elegant and discreet. When he's commissioned to eliminate a corrupt politician, he remembers his childhood and youth, how he felt violence grow inside and what he did to control it and use it, according to him, for his own benefit and that of others. But this sentimental education is only the beginning of a journey that will take you through the darkest and most violent scenarios of our society and will make you rethink his role in it. A decades-long odyssey through Madrid and settings like New York, Zanzibar, Baghdad, Stockholm or Morocco. And it's also the story of a murderer in love, the X-ray of a couple. Will he be willing to sacrifice the love of his life to follow his ideals to end? Will this be his last assignment?

Using a worked prose full of irony and intelligence, Carlos Bardem creates the prodigious portrait of a charismatic and complex antihero trapped in a society dominated by immorality and corruption. After the success of Mongo Blanco, the author combines the crime novel, political satire and social denunciation in The Maverick Assassin, an original story of love, humor and death.
