«Un trago para el camino» is the mystery novel by Fredric Brown, published by Bruguera in paperback (85 pages, in Spanish).
A woman newly arrived in Mayville, a town in Arizona near the Mexican border, is found dead from a stab wound while she slept. She had barely any luggage and an old car, and her only passion was whisky. The few clues point to a neighbor fond of spying and a dead wasp in the toilet float.
It belongs to the Club del Misterio collection, number 21. First edition of 1981, with translation by Miguel Giménez Sales and illustrations by Eduardo Feito. Original work: 'One for the Road' (1948).
For readers of crime and mystery fiction, with an illustrated edition of 85 pages set in the American West.
Fredric Brown was an American science fiction, fantasy, and mystery writer. He is known for his use of humor and for his mastery of the "short short" form—stories of one to three pages, often with ingenious plotting devices and surprise endings. Humor and a postmodern outlook carried over into his novels as well. One of his stories, "Arena", was adapted into a 1967 episode of the American television series Star Trek.
