by Pierre Lemaitre (Author)

Divertida, inmoral, jugosa: así es la primera novela negra de Pierre Lemaitre, el autor que conquistó a los lectores con Vestido de novia o la serie del comandante Camille Verhoeven.

Siempre hay que desconfiar de las señoras de mediana edad bien vestidas, con aspecto de jubiladas y acompañadas de un dálmata espantadizo, como Mathilde Perrin, una viuda de sesenta y tres años algo entrada en carnes bajo cuya apariencia anodina se esconde una pistolera a sueldo de gatillo fácil y nervios de acero. Experimentada y diligente en el manejo de armas de gran calibre, capaz de dar esquinazo a la policía y agotar a sus perseguidores, esta veterana heroína de la Resistencia ejecuta sin piedad los encargos de un misterioso comandante cuando no está cuidando su jardín de las afueras de París. Sin embargo, los frecuentes descuidos y el mal carácter de la antaño perfeccionista Mathilde, que la vuelven cada vez más incontrolable y perturbadora, empiezan a preocupar a las altas esferas, dispuestas a deshacerse de ella antes de que sea demasiado tarde.

Brillante combinación de una trama ingeniosa y precisa con un ritmo trepidante, La gran serpiente es la primera novela negra escrita por Pierre Lemaitre. Un tablero de asesinatos encadenados cargado de diálogos mordaces, escenas impactantes y grandes dosis de humor cáustico y descarnado.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

And anyway, who cares? All that matters is that the guy is dead, right?

A dark and thrilling ride about the most unlikely of killers, perfect for Tarantino fans, by the award-winning and bestselling author, Pierre Lemaitre

'A really excellent suspense novelist' --Stephen King

'Deft, funny, sharp . . . an absolute delight' --The Guardian

With Mathilde, there is never a stray bullet, her work is clean and neat. Tonight was an exception. A little whim. Obviously, she could have taken the shot from a distance, done less damage; obviously she could have made the hit with a single bullet. What can I say? I don't know what came over me. This is what she will say if anyone asks. And anyway, who cares? All that matters is that the guy is dead, right?

1985. Paris. Sixty-three-year-old Mathilde Perrin is on another mission. A widow, mother and decorated hero of the Resistance, she is also a ruthless and skilled contract killer, and the most unlikely suspect. But tonight, something has changed. Mathilde is agitated, forgetful and impulsive - so much so that even Ludo, her loyal and long-suffering Dalmatian, has noticed a dangerous shift in her mood.

For Mathilde, retirement is not an option. And no superior, nor police detective nor meddling neighbor will stand in her way. But as Mathilde's mind unravels and the bodies pile up, how long will it take before the killer herself becomes the target?

Author Biography

Pierre Lemaitre (París, 1951) estudió Psicología, creó una empresa de formación pedagógica e impartió clases de literatura. Autor tardío, en 2006 ganó el premio a la primera novela policíaca en el festival de Cognac con Irène, primera entrega de una serie que incluye Alex, Rosy & John y Camille. Consagrado como uno de los escritores más populares de hoy, con más de tres millones de lectores, su carrera literaria dio un vuelco con Nos vemos allá arriba (Premio Goncourt 2013), primer volumen de «Los hijos del desastre», una aclamada trilogía editada por Salamandra que sigue con Los colores del incendio y El espejo de nuestras penas. En Salamandra han aparecido también el Diccionario apasionado de la novela negra, y las novelas Tres días y una vida, La gran serpiente y El ancho mundo, y las dos primeras entregas de su saga «Los años gloriosos» El ancho mundo y El silencio y la cólera.
