Skating Rink

Dropped from the Olympic figure skating team, Nuria Mart s fate pivots her into a world of corruption, jealousy and revenge.Cushioning her fall from grace, a besotted admirer builds a secret ice rink for her in the ruins of an old masion on the outskirts of their seaside town. What he doesn t tell her is he paid for it using public funds. Such deceit is not without repercussions, and the skating rink soon becomes a crime scene.Narrated by a corrupt and pompous civil servant, a beleaguered romantic poet, and a duplicitous civil servant, The Skating Rink is a darkly atmospheric tale of murder and its motives.TRANSLATED BY CHRIS ANDREWS'A work of intense and unrealized longing' The New York Times Bola o makes you feel changed for having read him; he adjusts your angle of view on the world Guardian
