Un nido de víboras: Montalbano - Libro 25 (Salvo Montalbano #Volumen 25)
by Andrea CamilleriCon destreza, atrevimiento y las dosis exactas de humor e imaginación, Andrea Camilleri logra superarse y afianzar su papel de maestro de la novela negra contemporánea. En esta vigésimo quinta obra de la serie, disfrutaremos de la mirada socarrona del gran autor siciliano y su habilidad para sondear los recovecos del alma humana. Con el paso de los años, las pesadillas que desvelan a Salvo Montalbano se han vuelto más sofisticadas y extrañas. En esta ocasión, el veterano policía cree encontrarse junto a Livia, semidesnudos, en una exuberante selva tropical. Pero no es una selva de verdad: los troncos y el follaje están pintados al óleo, y Livia y él se hallan dentro de un enorme cuadro de Henri Rousseau. Y cuando un trueno ensordecedor devuelve al comisario a la realidad, ésta se materializa con un vagabundo que busca refugio bajo el porche de su casa. Poco sospecha Montalbano que ese encuentro fortuito contiene un elemento clave de su próxima investigación, uno de los casos más turbios y difíciles de su carrera. Esa misma mañana aparecerá muerto el contable Barletta, con señales inequívocas de violencia. Al igual que la falsa jungla del sueño, el muerto no es lo que parecía. Lejos del tranquilo gestor jubilado que simulaba ser, Barletta se revela como un personaje de mil caras, a cuál más sorprendente e inesperada: un hombre de negocios implacable, un verdadero malabarista de la extorsión y el chantaje, y al mismo tiempo un padre de familia hipócrita y desalmado. A pesar de los numerosos casos a los que se ha enfrentado en su brillante carrera, Montalbano comprueba, una vez más, que el ser humano -con sus pasiones, sus deseos, sus debilidades- no deja de ser un misterio insondable. Los lectores podrán disfrutar una vez más del singular sentido del humor del comisario Montalbano, un personaje que perdurará como ejemplo perfecto del savoir-vivre mediterráneo. Reseñas:«La exquisita serie de historias policiales de Salvo Montalbano es una de las cumbres europeas del género negro.»Enric González, El Mundo «Si hay autores cuyos libros suscitan admiración, sorpresa, emoción, los de Andrea Camilleri suscitan eso... y lo hacen gracias a una combinación infalible: una sabiduría de zorro viejo, un humor socarrón del que nadie se libra y una enorme comprensión hacia las debilidades humanas.»ABC Cultural
