«Experiència amb el mal» is the crime novel by Ross Macdonald, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (192 pages, in Catalan).
The plot starts with a kidnapping: the ransom, 50,000 dollars, must be left in a suitcase by the newsstand of a railway station. The person making the delivery is unaware that the key to the case lies in a blind man, who could not see anything, and that the money ends up in the hands of a man unconnected to the abduction. A crime intrigue with a brisk pace and calculated misunderstandings.
Part of the «Seleccions de la Cua de Palla» collection, volume 17, with a translation by Florència Ventura. Original work: «Meet Me at the Morgue» (1953).
For readers of classic noir and crime fiction, especially those interested in American hard-boiled.
Kenneth Millar, known mainly by the pseudonym Ross Macdonald, was an American-Canadian writer of crime fiction. He is best known for his series of hardboiled novels set in Southern California and featuring private detective Lew Archer. Since the 1970s, Macdonald's works have received attention in academic circles for their psychological depth, sense of place, use of language, sophisticated imagery and integration of philosophy into genre fiction. Brought up in the province of Ontario, Canada, Macdonald eventually settled in the state of California, where he died in 1983.
