About the Book

Durant la Setmana de la Novel-la Negra de Barcelona 2009, "Una vida en joc" va ser qualificada com una novel-la Negra plena de colors. La raó és que en ella es donen cita elements que permeten classificar-la com a novel-la negra, de misteri, costumista, històrica i romàntica. El protagonista és Víctor Pons, que treballa com a cap de seguretat del casino de la Rabassada, que es va inaugurar a Barcelona amb tota la pompa el 15 de juliol de 1911 i que tenia la pretensió de convertir-se en l'emblema de la ciutat. Això és un fet històric. I només va durar un any. Això és un altre fet històric. Com a responsable de seguretat del casino, Víctor es veurà enfrontat en tota la seva cruesa a la cobdícia i la bogeria que generen les taules de joc, però també serà allí on trobarà l'amor de Carla Torres, una jove burgesa. La mort en estranyes circumstàncies d'un client d'origen italià, provocarà que Víctor hagi de fer ús de tots els seus recursos per evitar un escàndol, per la qual cosa fa desaparèixer el cos. No obstant això, el que en principi semblava un suïcidi resultarà ser un assassinat i Víctor es veurà embolicat en una trama policíaca, complicada per l'amenaça mafiosa, que l'obligarà a tirar dels fils d'allò que s'ha succeït, sense adonar-se que hi ha una vida en joc: la seva.
About the Author: Vaig néixer a Andorra la Vella (1951). Sóc enginyer industrial i escriptor. Visc a 1400 metres d'altura, en el bell mig del bosc, des d'on escric. He escrit contes infantils, novel-la i assaig. Destaquen, per damunt de tot les meves novel-les històriques. En novel-la negra he escrit obres om "El rapte, el mort i el Marsellès," Premi Sèrie Negra de l'any 2000, o "Una vida en joc," dedicada al Casino de La Rabassada. En relat d'anticipació disposo d'obres com "Un vot per l'esperança que va merèixer el títol d'Obra Seleccionada al I Premi de Novel-la Plaza $ Janés al 1985, o la tan celebrada "L'informe Phaeton" que ha merescut l'aplaudiment unànim del públic, que diu que la meva obra més impressionant. I en ficció històrica disposo de títols tan conegut com per exemple: "El mestre de Kheops," Premi Néstor Luján de Novel-la històrica 1998, "L'anell d'Àtila," Premi Fiter i Rossell 1999, "El ulls d'Anníbal," Premi Carlemany 2002, "La Gran Concubina d'Egipte," Premi Néstor Luján de Novel-la Històrica 2005, la trilogia dedicada a Jaume I el Conqueridor formada per "El punyal del sarraí," "La reina hongaresa" i "Parleu o mateu-me," o la trilogia dedicada a Alí Bei formaa per "Maleït català!," "Maleït musulmà!" i "Maleït cristià!," o la darrera novel-la "Obre els ulls i desperta." M'agrada molt barrejar amb subtilesa la realitat, la ficció i el misteri, que sempre embolcallo amb sentiments, vertader motor de la vida. Tinc obres publicades en diversos idiomes: català, castellà, anglès, francès, grec, portuguès, eslovac, txec... Se'm considera el revitalizador de la novel-la històrica en llengua catalana i me'n sento molt orgullós per això.
