«La verdad sobre el caso Savolta» is the novel by Eduardo Mendoza, published by Seix Barral in paperback (463 pages, in Spanish).
In Barcelona from 1917 to 1919, revolutionary tension between workers and employers frames a crime plot with murders, conspiracies and nightlife. The city becomes a protagonist through cabarets, bombs and parties. Mendoza combines humor, irony and satire to portray a society of idealists, adventurers, informers and circus folk.
