«Asesinato en la convención» is the mystery novel by Isaac Asimov, published by Editorial Bruguera in paperback (287 pages, in Spanish).
During a booksellers' convention, writer and amateur detective Darius Just finds the corpse of a friend and protégé. The police don't believe it's murder, so Just investigates on his own. As a metafictional detail, Asimov himself appears as a character while researching a novel set in that world.
The Spanish edition belongs to Bruguera's Naranja collection (1501/43) and includes the translation by Antonio-Prometeo Moya. The original, Murder at the ABA, was published in 1976.
For readers of classic mystery interested in seeing Asimov outside science fiction, with a plot set in the publishing world.
