Overview
«Me toca interrogarte, Iván Mauricio, aunque sea en tu tumba y con el trauma encima. De todos modos, ya no te va a doler. No tienes que esconderte, ni sacarme la vuelta, ni inventar mentiritas. Tómalo como tu segunda autopsia.»
De Iván Mauricio o «Juan de la Luna» se dirán muchas cosas: que derrochó su herencia y se volvió chamán, que dejó atrás a la mujer de su vida, que tenía las peores amistades o que se suicidó lanzándose al vacío de un séptimo piso con los pies sospechosamente amarrados…
Dunia Montoro, ex esposa del muerto, vive perseguida por la culpa. Como analista de inteligencia, podría utilizar los recursos policiales para ir detrás de la huella de Iván, pero ahora es sospechosa de asesinato y no le queda más que hablar con los difuntos, ya que en los vivos no puede confiar.
Con las mejores prácticas de la novela negra, Xavier Velasco regresa a la ficción en Mala espina y coloca al lector delante de un escabroso elenco de hechiceros, truhanes, rabdomantes, sabuesos, fetichistas, traficantes y gente de poder, además de un médico forense y su asistente, la seductora y retorcida Hata Mari, que se debaten entre la supervivencia, la ambición, el amor, la espiritualidad y los alucinógenos, en una Ciudad de México cuya entraña siniestra brota de entre las piedras.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
"It's my turn to interrogate you, Iván Mauricio, even if it's at your grave and with the trauma on top. Anyway, it won't hurt you anymore. You don't have to hide, avoid me, or make up little lies. Consider it your second autopsy."
Many things will be said about Iván Mauricio or "Juan de la Luna": that he squandered his inheritance and became a shaman, that he left behind the love of his life, that he had the worst friends, or that he committed suicide by jumping from the seventh floor with his feet suspiciously tied... Dunia Montoro, the dead man's ex-wife, lives haunted by guilt. As an intelligence analyst, she could use police resources to trace Iván's steps, but now she is suspected of murder and has no choice but to talk to the dead, as she cannot trust the living.
With the best practices of noir fiction, Xavier Velasco returns to fiction with Bad Feeling and places the reader in front of a grim cast of sorcerers, rogues, dowsers, hounds, fetishists, traffickers, and powerful people, as well as a forensic doctor and his assistant, the seductive and twisted Hata Mari, who struggle between survival, ambition, love, spirituality, and hallucinogens, in a Mexico City whose sinister core emerges from the stones.
