“Eduardo Mendoza is one of contemporary Spain’s most important writers.”—The New York Times Book Review

“Wonderfully inventive and hilarious.”—Guardian

Released from an asylum to help with a police enquiry, the quick-witted and foul-smelling narrator delves deep into the underworld of 1970s Barcelona to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a teenage girl from a convent school, aided only by his prostitute sister Mercedes.

Eduardo Mendoza was born in 1943 in Barcelona. He spent some years in New York, where he worked at the United Nations as an interpreter. His other novels include No Word From Gurb, published by Telegram in 2007.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but not as good as Gurb.
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2010
I think I spoiled myself by reading  No Word From Gurb  first. If I had read this book first, I would have enjoyed it more. The humor in this novel is very similar to that of Gurb, but not as refined, and not as plot driven. Also, the mystery isn't all that mysterious, so you really need to enjoy the humor to enjoy the book. Overal, Gurb is the better novel (it is also a later novel, and not without reason the first of Mendoza's works to be translated into English). So, my advice, do buy this book, but make sure to buy No Word from Gurb right after (as opposed to before).

5.0 out of 5 stars The Smelling Detective
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 28, 2011

Bought this as I had laughed aloud reading "No Word from Gurb". The most unlikely detectives are the best and "Gonewiththewind" has joined them with a wry look at the social underclass of Barcelona. You wouldn't want to get too close to him and you couldn't expect him to watch your back in a fight, but his surreal methods of solving this whodunnit get results. Funny, warm-hearted and witty it shows just what the under-dog can achieve.

My husband hated this but I found it unusual and often very funny. Central character nothing like the normal 'hero'
