About the Book

El comisario Padura llega a Perros Muertos desde México DF, allí, en medio del desierto y al lado de la frontera con EEUU desea vivir una vida tranquila sin ningún problema con los todopoderosos "narcos" de la zona. Un día aparecen los cadáveres de varias niñas mutiladas salvajemente y el detective comienza una investigación sabiendo que tendrá que dejarlos impunes. Pero con lo que no contaba Padura es con enamorarse de Morgana, una pintora que quiere esclarecer los hechos aunque esto le lleve a enfrentarse cara a cara con el Chivo. Balada de Perros Muertos nos cuenta, en un tono seco, la investigación de Padura y sus esfuerzos por no acabar enterrado en la arena de un desierto sin justicia ni memoria.Gregorio León nos presenta esta obra, terrible por la verdad que se intuye detrás, de un modo sólido y potente, con unos personajes llenos de realidad que sostienen la trama con solvencia y con unas imágenes hermosas y precisas que nos trasladan el calor, el olor y la luz de un desierto corrupto en el que la vida de una mujer no vale nada. La novela es una historia de fracasos en la que los personajes se mueven golpe a golpe y muerto a muerto.Una novela que nos acerca a una realidad que, por ser lejana, no deja de ser terrible, pero lo hace de un modo bello y dejando una grieta para el amor y la esperanza en medio de ese cruel desierto.


Commissar Padura arrives at Perros Muertos from Mexico City, there, in the middle of the desert and next to the US border, he wants to live a quiet life without any problem with the all-powerful narcos of the area. One day the corpses of several wildly mutilated girls appear and the detective begins an investigation knowing that he will have to leave them unpunished. But what Padura did not tell is to fall in love with Morgana, a painter who wants to clarify the facts even if this leads him to face the Chivo face to face. Balada de Perros Muertos tells us, in a dry tone, the investigation of Padura and his efforts not to end up buried in the sand of a desert without justice or memory. Gregorio León presents this work, terrible for the truth that is intuited behind, in a solid and powerful way, with characters full of reality that sustain the plot with solvency and with beautiful and precise images that convey the heat, smell and light of a corrupt desert in which the life of a woman does not worthless. The novel is a story of failures in which the characters move blow by blow and dead by death. A novel that brings us closer to a reality that, being far away, does not stop being terrible, but it does it in a beautiful way and leaving a crack for love and hope in the midst of that cruel desert.
