Wad-Ras: IX Premi Crims de Tinta
by Joan Miquel CapellEl primer cas dels Mossos d'Esquadra Novel·la guanyadora del IX Premi Crims de Tinta. Barcelona, 1991. Una reclusa ha mort a la presó de Wad-Ras i tot apunta a una sobredosi d'heroïna. Pot haver-hi alguna cosa més? Inesperadament, el jutge encarrega la investigació als Mossos d'Esquadra. És la primera vegada que se'ls assigna un cas com a policia judicial, des de la reinstauració del cos, i la decisió no agrada a tothom. Però és una oportunitat única. Basada en el cas real investigat per l'autor com a mosso desquadra, Wad-Ras és una novel·la apassionant en la trama i també quan recrea, amb una evocació no exempta d'humor, un país, una època i una policia -només vint-i-cinc anys enrere- que semblen molt llunyans.
