What is it about?
This book explores the main characteristics of the criminal fiction of Dolores Redondo, creator of stories that transcend the resolution of crimes and speak of life itself, framing her not only as heir to a genre renewed by the great writers of the eighties and nineties in USA, but also other national and international writers, psychologists, criminal forensics, anthropologists, experts in victimology and religion scholars, which reinforces the hybrid nature of the genre, giving rise to novels that can be described as metaphysical criminals with gothic overtones.
