Trilogía de Freddie Montgomery

This fascinating trilogy brings together, together with The Book of Evidence, two novels by John Banville that have never before been published in Spanish. A new opportunity to continue discovering and enjoying the marvellous prose of John Banville, winner of the Prince of Asturias Prize and, as Rodrigo Fresán says, "a Nobel Prize if there is justice". In The Book of Evidence Freddie Montgomery commits two crimes: he steals a valuable painting from a wealthy family friend and murders the housekeeper who witnessed his theft. This unique crime novel, a genre in which Banville and his alter ego Black is an acknowledged master, was a finalist for the Booker Prize. In Fanstasmas, an unnamed killer (Freddie Montgomery) has served his time and now lives on an almost uninhabited island with Professor Kreutznaer and a group of eccentric individuals. This eerie calm is disturbed by the arrival of a group of castaways. A beautiful and fascinating novel, and Banville's most enjoyable according to the Sunday Independent. In Athena, Morrow (the name under which Freddie Montgomery may be hiding) finds himself at a crossroads when two people make him go to an empty house in Dublin. One offers him a dubious job/the other, something akin to love.
