El mal y el tiempo

The discovery of a corpse opens a police investigation that leads to an intriguing plot dealing with friendship, love and the role of art in the contemporary world, plus privilege, power and corruption. The questions soon begin to multiply, but they all lead one: Who is the enigmatic woman whose portrait hangs in the house of the murdered man? Set in two time periods (the 90s and 2012), in a rise and fall manner, Evil and Time, a new book by the author of The Players, is a noir police procedural that reflects twenty years of Spanish society where there is more silence than answers.
