ENGLISH DESCRIPTION After the success of Mongo Blanco , Carlos Bardem returns with The Maverick Assassin , a political novel of love, humor and death. Awarded in 2022 with the prestigious Dashiell Hammett Prize for noir fiction in Spanish. Fortunato is a hired assassin, cultured, elegant and discreet. When he's commissioned to eliminate a corrupt politician, he remembers his childhood and youth, how he felt violence grow inside and what he did to control it and use it, according to him, for his own benefit and that of others. But this sentimental education is only the beginning of a journey that will take you through the darkest and most violent scenarios of our society and will make you rethink his role in it. A decades-long odyssey through Madrid and settings like New York, Zanzibar, Baghdad, Stockholm or Morocco. And it's also the story of a murderer in love, the X-ray of a couple. Will he be willing to sacrifice the love of his life to follow his ideals to end? Will this be his last assignment? Using a worked prose full of irony and intelligence, Carlos Bardem creates the prodigious portrait of a charismatic and complex antihero trapped in a society dominated by immorality and corruption. After the success of Mongo Blanco, the author combines the crime novel, political satire and social denunciation in The Maverick Assassin, an original story of love, humor and death.
