«Almas grises» is the mystery novel by Philippe Claudel, published by Salamandra in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
In December 1917, the discovery of a girl's body in a canal shakes a small village in northern France. Twenty years later, the policeman who led the investigation writes a chronicle in which he reconstructs the case and its inhabitants, marked by war, gossip and grudges. Among suspects and guilty parties, no one is entirely innocent, and the narrator's memory gradually reveals an uncomfortable truth amid moral chiaroscuro.
Original title: «Les Âmes Grises». Novel winner of the Prix Renaudot (2003); this Spanish edition, translated by José Antonio Soriano Marco, belongs to the Salamandra Narrativa collection.
For fans of crime and historical fiction who appreciate a mystery with a somber atmosphere, wartime backdrop and psychological portrait.
Philippe Claudel is a French writer and film director.
