SYNOPSIS

These tales, so real that some details have been eliminated for coming too close to the truth, belong to the genre known as micturition literature, and are so starkly realist they can be slipped into its subgenre – laxative text. In fact they revel in it, squirming in such delight that the publishers initially wanted to print on paper more suited to its delicate function, but the ink ran. The characters in this new take on the Sherlock-Watson dynamic are an amoral and self-centred police inspector and his dense but loyal sidekick. Covarrubias is clever but unscrupulous, with something of the anti-Midas touch, leaving a not-so-golden trail in his wake.
