«El secreto de la modelo extraviada» is the novel by Eduardo Mendoza, published by Seix Barral in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
The detective, unjustly confined in an asylum, recalls a case from the eighties: the murder of a model and his use as a scapegoat. Years later he reopens it, visits old haunts and seeks out those involved in a very different Barcelona, though perhaps not so different.
Fifth installment of the series The Unnamed Detective or Doctor Sugrañes' Patient; part of the Biblioteca Breve collection.
Recommended for readers of mystery and humor fiction, especially those familiar with the detective's earlier adventures by Mendoza.
Eduardo Mendoza Garriga is a Spanish novelist, playwright, and essayist. His first novel, La Verdad sobre el Caso Savolta, published in 1975, reflected the social changes as Spain transitioned to democracy, and was very successful. His 1986 novel, La Ciudad de los Prodigios, is widely acclaimed, and he is also known for his "mad detective" parody novels, in particular El Laberinto de las Aceitunas.
