Descargar Libro: An Olympic Death

Resumen del Libro

As Barcelona prepares for the Olympics, the city is turned over to make way for new roads, new stadia and the giant prawns of Mariscal.Pepe Carvalho-who remembers the good old days when a hammer was always to be found with a sickle-is forced to work for Olympic entrepreneurs whose only game plan is to make a fast buck. Montalbáns grizzled hero cruises the backstreets of the Barcelona dream, finding dead bodies and broken socialist promises. The new vamped-up Olympic City is contrasted with its seedier side, whilst Pepe contemplates middle age and ever changing values.
