«Un trago para el camino» is the mystery novel by Fredric Brown, published by Bruguera in paperback, with 237 pages, in Spanish.
Amy arrives in Mayville, on the Arizona-Mexico border, with little luggage and an insatiable thirst for whisky. She turns up dead, stabbed while sleeping. The clues: a neighbor who spied on her window and a dead wasp in the toilet float. Brown wraps the investigation in corrosive humor.
Original title: «One For The Road» (1948). This Spanish edition, translated by Miguel Giménez Sales, came out in 1982 in Bruguera's Colección Naranja.
For readers of mystery novels and crime fiction who appreciate irony and border settings.
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.
