«Riña de gatos. Madrid 1936» is the historical novel by Eduardo Mendoza, published by Booket in paperback (432 pages, in Spanish).
Anthony Whitelands, an English art critic, arrives in Madrid in 1936 to authenticate a painting owned by a friend of José Antonio Primo de Rivera; its economic value could be decisive for Spanish politics. Love affairs and a network of pursuers —police, politicians, spies— drag him into a conspiracy told with Eduardo Mendoza's humor.
This novel won the Planeta Prize 2010 and the European Book Prize, and is part of the Biblioteca Eduardo Mendoza collection.
A work suitable for readers of contemporary fiction and Spanish narrative who value a suspense plot in a historical setting.
