In this pulp-style noir novel, the protagonist faces a spiral of colorful violence, abyssal melancholy, and sordid sex that pushes him to the limit. With razor-sharp prose and corrosive humor, Pascual Ulpiano (the pseudonym of Alberto Valle) constructs a story where the bullets dodged damage not only the body, but the soul as well. An intense and uncompromising read for lovers of the rawest crime genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalop, the relentless hitman from The Agency, returns to action in a new installment that finds him on the verge of collapse. After dodging multiple assassination attempts, the protagonist discovers that invisible wounds are the deepest: every bullet that misses his body ends up tearing his soul apart. In this story riddled with stylized violence and cathedral-sized bad moods, Palop faces his own demons while trying to survive in a world where loyalty is a luxury and betrayal is a constant. With a tone that oscillates between the rawest pulp and the most abyssal melancholy, the novel follows in the footsteps of this character whom no one wants to cross, but who seems destined to burst from within.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe spiral of violence as a mechanism of self-destruction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMelancholy and emotional exhaustion in the criminal underworld.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLoyalty and betrayal in an environment of hitmen and clandestine agencies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSordid sex as a reflection of the protagonist's dehumanization.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePulp aesthetics and contemporary noir narrative.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is aimed at readers of noir and crime novels who are looking for stories with a raw, uncompromising approach and a marked pulp style.
