SYNOPSIS

1938. Dimas Prado, a youg and ambitious fascist, takes charge of an investigation into the double murder of an adolescent prostitute and her Madame at a house in Burgos. His plan is not to catch the murderer - a distinguished Nationalist general - but to eliminate all trace of the crime, evidence and witnesses. Juan Madrid, in his most ambitious novel to date, transports us through these pages to that dark time of the Civil War and its aftermath, finding echoes in the fabric of our present. Sleeping Dogs is a thrilling crime novel that delves into the murky cesspool of the Francoist police force. A story of intrigue, with complex, ambivalent characters richly developed, and one that makes the reader reflect on humanity in general, and the need to tell stories.
