«El lugar del crimen» is the mystery and suspense novel by Alfonso Sastre, published by Montesinos in paperback (304 pages, in Spanish).
The action takes place between California, Madrid, Barcelona and the Basque Country, where mystery, clandestinity and violence intertwine. The uncanny (Unheimlich) seeps into the everyday and turns the familiar into something unsettling, with echoes of Melmoth the Wanderer and the horror tradition of Poe or Lovecraft.
Subtitled «Unheimlich», it is part of the Narrativa collection from Montesinos. The work was originally published in 1982; this paperback edition is from 2012.
For readers of crime and mystery fiction who enjoy unsettling atmospheres and a literary background on the uncanny.
